Ultra-Fast RAM

[Leo]

I found this interesting:

Ultra-Fast Trident Z DDR4-4800MHz CL19 16GB (2x8GB) Kit

"Aiming for the fastest frequency possible, G.SKILL demos the ultimate Trident Z DDR4 4800MHz extreme dual-channel kit – getting us one step closer to the 5000MHz mark without liquid nitrogen cooling, all the while maintaining a low CAS latency timings of CL19-19-19-39. This highest memory speed demo is built with the latest Intel® Core™ X-Series processor and ASRock X299 OC Formula motherboard."

I don't know. I assumed the faster the better. I am open to suggestions.

"Most likely to be marketed in 2020, DDR5 RAM is expected to be twice the memory bandwidth and density of DDR4 RAM."

I read when DDR4 came out that they couldn't make RAM any faster and that they would have to concentrate on the new Hybrid Memory Cube.
