The current status of DDR5 is in its early stage. The potential of its development is quite high as faster clock speeds and especially significantly faster/lower timings are on the way which will further increase CPU performance in the near future.

I'm amazed by the amount of details on each of vids you made, that's insane, thanks for tons of info on your vids I finally can chose the Legion 5 pro 2022 as my daily laptop

I’ve learned more watching this guy while shopping for a computer than I have in years. There’s so much to understanding the different aspects of a laptop and I feel like I’m getting a much better grasp on it and can make a better informed decision on a pretty expensive purchase.

yet another depth analysis. great work Jarrod 💖

[tanthokg]

I didn't expect DDR5 memory can improve battery life that much

there's one key use case you've missed in the case of DDR4 vs DDR5 and that is music production. a lot of music plugins use a LOT of RAM and DDR5 simply has much better bandwidth and efficiency than DDR4

Been waiting for this one. Thanks for taking the time to make it happen. Going ddr4 was one of the concessions I had to accept on the new laptop I just picked up. I basically traded ddr4 for getting 3070ti over 3070 with the ti also have a 10w higher tdp. This video helped confirm I made the right choice. Side note - wonder what the deal is with the 1% lowers on Forza, seems janky.

Pretty sure I found your channel when you had about 18K subs. Now you're at 561K subs. It really should be more, as you are the absolute best laptop reviewer here on YT.
All the best to you and yours this holiday season! o7

Only you are doing such a great job in the laptop field putting hours and hours of work in for a single video great job and thanks for your hard work

[himanshurajput]

This guy gives the reviews on whole other level man... Hats off

[pchykins]

Just built a new PC and decided to go with DDR5 because, at the moment DDR4 and DDR5 might have slight differences, but surely 2 years from now, newer and better DDR5 will be out on the market. This means, that my motherboard will be able to cater those upgrades while DDR4 might not get newer upgrades .

[Tap-a-roo]

The three machines I just bought all have DDR5, so I'm being completely honest when I say there doesn't appear to be very much real world difference between the two except in very specific circumstances.

[ElCapitanD]

Thanks for making clear, now I can refer friends to this video to see the difference if it matters to them.

I upgraded my laptop ram from ddr5 4800 (16gb) to 5600 (32gb) from crucial and can’t tell u how much faster and less stressful it’s been using my gpu (3070) on more demanding games and not worry about background apps taking all ram usage. I’ve been getting few more fps on hogwarts legacy but its not very noticeable as its only 2-4 fps

[nimitverma]

Your only video which is so much detailed as well as simple to understand

[RojsaCom]

This was really interesting to know between DDR4 and DDR5 :) Thank you! 🤩

[josephj]

In December 2022, only go 12th Gen CPU plus DDR5 RAM. Worth the little extra. Great video. 👍

[o_______opanasovych]

Tyvm for you observing this info. Very helpful for me personally. Helped to make a decision, which laptop to buy. Thank you man. !!
