Ok. But do you buy a system with all the latest tech and buy a board with ddr4? And after 3 months you want to upgrade to ddr5 and you need to replace the board and the ram... Not a easy choiceBecause there's both DDR4 and DDR5 12th gen boards.
You can only pick one or the other. They don't support both; the 'dividers' are in different spots.
12th Gen CPUs don't even go on sale until next week.Ok. But do you buy a system with all the latest tech and buy a board with ddr4? And after 3 months you want to upgrade to ddr5 and you need to replace the board and the ram... Not a easy choice
Preorder.I see a store that already sell the processor and boards and deliver 7 november... But no Ddr5 ram...
When zen4 gen2 will be released? I supposed this generation will be the 5000 series sucessor right?Depends on your experiences, I suppose.
I'll gladly wait until Raptor Lake(whatever the 2nd one is going to be called) and Zen 4 gen 2.
Unknown. Last thing I saw about that were rumors, Q2 - Q4 of 2022, so a whole lot of good that is...When zen4 gen2 will be released?

If it will be released early next year it will be the perfect time to upgrade a system because ddr5 will be more available...

The physical slots are different. On purpose.are there any boards you might suggest that can offer both? I’ve looked around for some info and I didn’t find much discussion of these boards…. Or I don’t know where to look which is the likely answer.
thanks!

Every DDR generation, the slot and separator changes a bit, to prevent putting the wrong one in.
I have seen them (edit the old boards)I don't think you will see that again.I get it, but thank you. When DDR2 went over to DDR3 they offered two different sets of slots (I think it was the switch from 2 to 3, maybe it was 1 to 2? I have a couple of the boards downstairs if you’re interested in knowing more). I assumed we were talking the same thing. Maybe no one is doing that, but I’ve seen this idea mentioned a few times on forums but I don’t see anyone ever recommend an actual board.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/1697...overview-over-50-new-models-with-ddr5-supportOkay, I think I misunderstood what phaaze meant when he said there were DDR4 and DDR5 boards. I did some poking around and I suspect this is a Biostar phenomenon. Here is an article where they did the same thing again in the DDR3 to DDR4 switchover. Is biostar still around? I suppose they might do it again, but I suspect you’re right zerk, we probably won’t see this again. I didn’t realize this was merely a one company idea but now that I think about it I am almost sure that my boards downstairs are biostars.

Think you you need to pick this time one or the other.
Yes, for that change, it was a short term thing. And only one type at a time. You couldn't run both at the same time.I get it, but thank you.

It will probably take DDR5 close to a year to catch up with the current DDR4 unless something changes this time that has not in the past.Thanks so very much! I will probably simply get a DDR4 board with a 1700 slot when I have the money unless the price of DDR5 drops precipitously. In the meantime I have gone ahead and looked at Biostar. You are right, they don’t offer a dual memory board as they did in the past. I wrote them to ask if they might in the future, but I won’t hold my breath. If I find they do have something interesting to report I will be sure to post here and let everyone know.
