XPG plans to deliver speeds of 6,000 MHz to 7,400 MHz. Wow!

These DDR5 news articles have me glad that I didn't get Zen 3.

Why ? AMD isn't bringing out DDR5 ready CPU's/mobos until 2022 anyway, We may get refreshed "XT" 5000 series CPU's that offer 100MHz boosts but no DDR5 until next year.
On a side note I personally wouldn't touch the first gen of DDR5 products from Intel or AMD anyway, There'll be a fair few kinks to iron out, Speeds won't be anywhere near as fast as they could etc...

Exactly my thought, the first ones out from a new generation/standard usually isn't the very best. Not to mention DDR4 hasn't been fully utilized yet as far as I'm aware, plus the price of these new DDR5's ones...
But also, what would you even need these kinds of speeds for honestly?

I think if I'm going to build a new system in such a messed up climate, I would like it to be bleeding edge. DDR5 and Zen 4 could have some teething issues, but I don't predict it'll be the same as Zen 1 or DDR4 on X99.

I don't expect DDR5 to be a price to performance contender, but I wouldn't draw conclusions without benchmarks either.
