The manufacturer G.Skill has announced without subtlety that they are already getting down to work to develop and manufacture their first DDR5 RAM modules. DDR5 is expected to become a new RAM standard in 2023, but previously announced kits from companies like Samsung and TeamGroup have not had the most satisfactory results.
Some DDR5 RAM modules have higher latency than DDDR4 RAM. But it is expected that as more manufacturers like G.Skill come in and develop compatible technologies, DDR5 will become widely adopted and much more accessible.
G.Skill already prepares DDR5 RAM with RGB
Since G.Skill is a brand especially recognized by the gaming community thanks to its designs, they've decided to continue using RGB lighting for DDR5 RAM, just as they do in products like the Trident Z series. The teaser video announcing G.Skill's intention to develop DDR5 RAM modules shows the lighting in a Z formation.
TechRadar speculates that given the characteristics of the letter 'Z' in the video, and that the DDR4 Trident Z RGB series is one of the brand's most recognizable products, the overall design will remain unchanged. That or it will receive a minimal upgrade to update the look in the same vein as the G.Skill Trident Royal Elite.
TeamGroup suggests that 16GB will become the new standard for memory modules, priced from its own 32GB, 4.800MHz kit at $ 399,99. As DDR4 4.000 MHz 16GBx2 kits are priced between $ 299 and $ 399, the latter is a price that would be realistic for DDR5 modules.
There is also speculation that DDR5 will be more expensive than the current DDR4 standard. But until we see more manufacturers listing a variety of different kits, we can't have an accurate estimate of what the average market price will be. If it does, and if it is expensive, we will have to wait for the technology to become more accessible to consumers and manufacturers.
