The whole situation sucks, but realistically DDR4 is still fine. I’m using it on the 2 best PCs in my house. The other computers use older shit. I can run modern games at 100+ FPS on a big screen and even in VR.
Can someone that explain this to me? Why are companies choosing to make older parts available again instead of just making the new shit?
The foundries still have the process in place for making DDR4, so since there’s demand they will keep making the product. It costs money to replace the machines in the facility to switch it to ddr5 or hbm, so the math only makes sense for a little while longer.
DDR4 slower therefore less demand from AI
