\u00bfDDR4 o DDR5?DDR4 or DDR5? Key comparison for your next upgrade<\/span><\/h1>\n

In a world where performance and efficiency are crucial, choosing the right RAM can make a significant difference to your business’s capabilities. The technology industry is in the midst of transitioning from the long-standing DDR4<\/strong> to the powerful new DDR5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But what does this change really mean, and why is now the time to upgrade?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Comparativa<\/p>\n

Below, we analyse the key differences<\/strong> so that you can make the best strategic decision for your infrastructure:<\/p>\n

Transfer Speed<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n

1600 – 3200 MT\/s<\/span><\/td>\n4800 – 8400 MT\/s<\/span><\/td>\nEnables much faster data transfer, resulting in better overall system performance and greater ability to handle intensive workloads.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Energy Efficiency<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n

1.2 V<\/span><\/td>\n1.1 V<\/span><\/td>\nLower operating voltage reduces power consumption and heat generation, which is ideal for data centres and systems seeking efficiency.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Architecture<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n

One 64-bit channel per module<\/span><\/td>\nTwo 32-bit subchannels per module<\/span><\/td>\nThe new architecture enables more efficient data access, improving latency and system responsiveness, especially in multi-threading.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Capacity per Module (DIMM)<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n

Up to 32 GB (common)<\/span><\/td>\nUp to 128 GB (future)<\/span><\/td>\nThe higher chip density per module allows for much higher memory capacity on the same motherboard, ideal for high-performance servers and workstations.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Why is this the moment of transition?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The DDR4 market is experiencing a supply shortage and a significant increase in prices. Major manufacturers have ceased production to focus on DDR5<\/strong>, a technology that is not only superior in every way, but also offers an increasingly attractive cost-performance ratio.<\/p>\n

Adopting DDR5 is not just an upgrade; it is a strategic investment in the future of your business. It allows you to:<\/p>\n
