I wish they would just jump DDR5 and go straight to DDR6, the PS5 and Xbox series X will have 16GB DDR6 as standard so I think anything new that comes to PC now should be at least that.Quote:

Ok thanks for the correction, only thing is the consoles use it for the whole system not just graphics.Quote:

Just found this explanation it was quite helpful.

Consoles use GDDR as system memory?
Myself I've only just moved from DDR3 to DDR4. Please don't make my new system obsolete as soon as I've built it....
I will take new hardware ( CPU - MOBO ) with 8 X 64 GB DDR8400 RAM.
Only problem is no one will buy it for me
My current CPU will not push 64Gb of RAM at 3600 MHZ, it will only do that with 32GB, so i have to make do with just shy of 3500 MHZ cuz i cant be bothered with tweaking it more.
Next gen yes. Quickest memory/most bandwidth and available nowQuote:

I once read an estimate of a cosmic ray flipping a bit at once per decade per 8GB. So in a 64GB workstation that's every year or two, and in servers that'd be every few months :(
There will be millions sold they will get a great price. It's about cost V performance on a console anyhooQuote:

While that does make a difference I'm not sure an extra few inches would be noticeable from an overall system perspective, we're talking about a signal travelling at something like 50 to 90 odd percent of the speed of light, IIRC that's roughly 12 inches per nanosecond so at most you'd be talking about 1ns.Quote:
