Ridiculously high clock frequencies won't mean much if latency goes way up. Historically, early next-gen memory with high latency gets beaten by cheaper mature low-latency previous-gen stuff.

We'll see when the Alder Lake reviews come out on similar enough DDR4 and DDR5 boards.

We will see, as ddr5 launch will also be different as manufacturers do learn, and ddr5 had time to go though iterations before launch.
I suspect the first batches available will be wild west with very wide spectrum of chips available. Depending on how companies did invest. I feel like dd 4 had sluggish start and it was less prepared that this one.

I suspect ddr4 will beat most budget oriented parts as they will be garbage trying to ride the hype, but higher end parts will surly beat ddr4.
My attention is on so-dimm's as they receive less attention.

It's sure a fun time to be interested in IT, and hard on anyone who needs a new PC right now.
