In a press release, TeamGroup announces the imminent appearance of DDR5 memory chips for the broad market. The first modules should therefore have a capacity of 16 GB at a clock frequency of 4 . 800 MHz offer. It is also said that they are working with major motherboard manufacturers such as ASRock, Gigabyte, MSI and ASUS on the implementation of DDR5 memory to show that even the very first DDR5-based memory would outperform the fastest DDR4 modules .

An important advantage of DDR5 compared to DDR4 is the easier handling. Customers who want to use the full capacity of their main memory should no longer make settings in the BIOS in the future. Instead, you should simply plug in the new memory and use the computer as usual. Another advantage of DDR5 is that it supports higher capacities in the individual chips. In the future 64 Gbit instead of the previous 16 Gbit would be possible, which would enable higher storage capacities per RAM bar.

TeamGroup does not announce in the message when consumers will be able to purchase the new storage. However, it can be assumed that further information on this will be announced at the CES in January. At the moment there are no processors that support DDR5-based memory anyway. Support is expected to take place in autumn 2021 with the introduction of Intel Alder Lake or the introduction of AMD Zen 4.
