I’m trying to find a use for DDR3 RAM which is like $50 or less for 64GB but I found out most things are incompatible

Love the link preview tagline. Thanks TheVerge

"Somehow, DDR4 has returned."

Besides that, wasn't DDR4 good enough for everything we did, anyway?

At least I did not notice all that much of a difference when migrating to my current DDR5 system other than the CPU being massively more performant. Though I am sure that the memory did play some role there.

Clanker claims that the felt absolute latency between decent DDR4 and DDR5 should be similar, while bandwidth might be lower, apparently? Something something CAS latency.

As an owner of a 1700 socket mainboard and 64GB of DDR4 (recently acquired a second 32GB kit on eBay), I am very pleased to see this.

I hope optimization comes back into fashion

I would like to see a Raspberry PI with DDR3 RAM. The price is insane right now.

I would be interested to see a comparison of the inflation caused by the AI rollout versus the actual value generated by the use of AI. I really wouldn’t be surprised if the later is dwarfed by the former (that’s assuming integrating AI in a company generates significant economic value in the first place, which is still speculative as far as I’m aware)

I just sold 4x8GB of DDR4 that I wasn't using for $200 on Ebay so this article is quite timely

DDR4 never left. DDR4 RAM pricing has also been spiking, just not quite as hard as DDR5.

If my DDR4 RAM go kaput I'm screwed just as I would be on DDR5.

This will drive linux adoption like nothing else.
