Chess:

Let's hope we'll see DDR5 for mainstream or at least enthusiast next year. Future proof wtf! Would be nicely timed for the new socket AMD is going to use.

I'm about 99% sure that is AMD's plan hence the new socket for Zen4. This may end up a brilliant plan if it works out having DDR5 about 1 year before you have CPU's built using it.

Chess:

I have exactly the same reasoning. I don't have fast memory to feed my 3930k , but quad channels helps to lessen to offset to DDR4, I believe. Back in the day a good CPU with quad memory was achievable. Now-a-days motherboards are a bit over-the-top expensive for me. So I'm hoping to wait for DDR5 dual channel 🙁

@craycray too With the 3900 and 3950 tested already i am not sure why you feel quad channel is needed , would be nice ? Sure! What kind of workload you do that the 2 channel would bottleneck you?

@Chess i am almost certain your cpu can do 80 -100 fps at the very least on everything you throw at it or way more , i believe that's cause of the 6 cores 12 threads! Now That's some awesome longevity you got there ! If i where you i migh even waited for 2-3 more years for ryzen 5xxx 6xxx or core 11xxx or 12xxx series or what ever is their naming 😛
