let's be real, there's no excuse to roll out ddr5 yet.
Why did DDR3 roll out? It was sensible, the fastest ddr2 cpu's were starved for bandwidth as early as the Pentium D, and the FSB wasn't going anywhere until we had faster memory since that was always a bottleneck especially on Core 2 Quads.
DDR4 also made sense, you have CPU's now built on a much smaller process that are more sensitive and we needed lower voltage memory to go along with it. They made some ddr3 skylake motherboards that you can try at your own risk and see what I mean. It was also a nice speed increase that left us with a lot of headroom if there was ever innovation again.
ddr5?... I mean the difference between the fastest ddr3 and ddr4 mainsteam cpu is negligible, how can it be time to make a new standard already? ddr3 cpu's weren't bandwidth starved despite them being so close to ddr4 cpu's in performance, so there's no way Intel's who are still running on an endlessly optimized sandy bridge/p3 core and Ryzen, the only new Arch we've actually gotten since DDR4 was released and isn't even bandwidth starved, just sensitive to ram speed due to the infinity fabric sharing a clock with ram, call for DDR5 to become a thing.
Process nodes also haven't shrunk significantly since DDR4's introduction, compared to the introduction of previous iterations of sdram vs the end of their life cycle.
I feel like Micron and Samsung just want people to have to buy more overpriced RAM and are bringing nothing new to the table to justify it, just god forbid anyone keep the same kit between 2 builds.
Anyone else getting this impression? It's a shitty cash grab.

where's the ddr5
what 14nm to soon 7nm isnt big reduction?
when you show me the increases on ddr4 tapering/plateauing off
your thread your arguement I showing increases on ddr4 still giving increases
on that note pcie 4 might be short lived or skipped also
