DDR5 Shipments Expected To Overtake DDR4 in 2023

The latest Status of the Memory Industry report from June 2021 published by Yole Developments shows the memory market continues to grow and is expected to exceed 200 billion USD in 2026. The introduction of DDR5 memory will be extremely quick with shipments expected to exceed that of DDR4 in 2023 and will account for over 90% of bits shipped by 2026. The major DRAM manufacturers have all finalized their mainstream DDR5 designs with shipments from several having already started. The report also predicts an increase in the amount of DRAM used in all product categories which will contribute to strong revenue growth for memory manufacturers.

That's great. But can we have at lunch dates, instead of the shitty, low performance kits first, the actual modules that are above 7Ghz with tight timings?

At three to four years after the 2014 launch there's still more than twice as much DDR4 as DDR3 had. Wonder what the motive for that is? Are they predicting a massive drop in the volume of device sales? Are they admitting that DDR5 isn't viable for new devices even as far out as 2024-2025? Will we see DDR4 variants of CPU architectures that are still as of now unlaunched or will AMD and Intel keep older architectures around longer than usual because newer architectures can't meet price expectations?
