Longsys shows what DDR5 is capable of

In July 2020, JEDEC, the Solid State Technology Association, officially published the DDR5 SDRAM standard. The Chinese NAND flash manufacturer Longsys is currently working on two DDR5 modules. Their tests show all the new standard has to offer.
The results
In the AIDA64 Cache & Memory benchmark, the Chinese manufacturer pits a 32 GB DDR5 RAM against a 32 GB DDR4 RAM. The CL of the DDR5 bar is 40, that of the DDR4 bar 22. As a result, the latency in the test is also higher with DDR5 RAM than with DDR4. However, this is normal – the latency was also significantly higher at the beginning of the switch from DDR3 to DDR4.
The test ran on a developer board from Alder Lake-S. The eight-core processor operated with a fixed clock of 805.8 MHz during the test. The increase in performance is considerable at up to 39 per cent. However, latency is also significantly worse with DDR5: DDR4 memory reacts almost 100 per cent faster.
DDR5 should become accessible to a broad audience with Intel's Alder Lake S processors. They'll be out around late 2021 or early 2022. AMD hasn't yet announced anything about DDR5.
