This is not true. When you say "power user", it will depend on the individual's use case. It is clear that there is no obvious advantage of going with DDR5 now when it comes to performance. Most DDR5 I manage to find are either 4800 or 5200, which is not a big upgrade from a fast DDR4 3600 onwards. And in software that is latency sensitive, DDR5 may regress.No power user waits anywhere near five years to upgrade their system, and those considering a DDR5 upgrade now certainly fall into that category.
People interested in DDR5 now, likely fall into the below 2 categories in my opinion,
1. Users with use cases that will benefit from getting the fastest DDR5 now, and not so much the base JEDEC speed,
2. PC enthusiasts that just wants to upgrade for the sake of upgrading and don't mind paying the steep premium.
