CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX Memory Breaks 5000MHz Barrier on AMD Ryzen Processors

[Woomack]

Let me guess, higher binned Micron E which can be found in ~$120-200 kits.
The main problem is that most CPUs won't run at 5000. I'm able to set 4800-4866 stable on multiple Micron or Hynix kits but only on one CPU (tested multiple 3600, 3600X and 3700X) I was able to pass 4933+ and it wasn't even stable. The only 5000+ results that I've seen around the web were made using 3900X.

I bought DDR3 2400MHz CL11 six years ago which was cheap and popular in 2013. now after six years you can buy DDR4 3200MHz CL16 at around the same price. the big problem is DDR4 3200 at CL16 in 2019 is not noticeably faster than DDR3 2400 at CL11 from six years ago. that's mind boggling how slow PC tech industry is moving these days. you may not be old enough to remember the good old days when computer performance was doubling every one or two years. once I bought a PC in 2002 and six years later in 2008 when I upgraded my PC, I remember it was nearly one hundred times faster than my old PC in gaming performance!!! the same story can be told about most other techs like gaming consoles, smartphones or even automobile and aircraft. I think we are hitting a wall in terms of tech progression.

On my 4790K I had 2133MHz DDR3 RAM.
Now I have 4000MHz CL17 DDR4 RAM for my i9-9900K.
I call that Progress.
And DDR5 RAM will be significantly faster.

100 times faster...? Okay.

This RAM is for those with lots of cash to waste, like most “top-end” items in life.

DDR4 was a very small performance gain over DDR3. I'm waiting for DDR5 to upgrade my DDR3 PC. Any idea how much we have to wait for DDR5?

well there is a rumor about amd's am5 cpu's supporting both pcie 5.0 and ddr5. but even if it doesn't it's right around the corner. micron has already started to sampling ddr5 to data centers for testing so like i said it's not that far off. but who knows? the sooner the better though, because ddr5 is gonna be a probably the biggest leap in desktop memory technology and performance since the introduction of ddr1.
