Deals by Will Judd Contributor Published on June 15, 2022 DDR5 RAM arrived late last year, but it's taken until now to see the first semi-reasonable prices for a kit of next-generation memory. CCL are currently selling a kit of Crucial DDR5-4800 for £89.94, more than £30 cheaper than the same kit is on Amazon. This is the first time I've seen a DDR5 kit of any description under £100, so if you're considering a 12th-gen Intel (or AMD Ryzen 7000) build, then this might be just what you need. Get 16GB Crucial DDR5-4800 for £ 89 94 was £ 120 Hardware wizard James tested DDR5 vs DDR4 earlier this year and found that it does offer a performance advantage over DDR4 in some games - but DDR4 remains the better value choice. However, that calculus is slowly shifting, and DDR5 is starting to become a viable option - helped of course by price drops like this one. I ran a similar set of experiments between DDR4 and DDR5 for Digital Foundry last month, and found that performance deltas between high-spec DDR4 and entry-level DDR5 ranged from 1% (in Crysis 3 Remastered, Counter-Strike Global Offensive and Far Cry 6) to 25% (in Ashes of the Singularity Escalation). If you instead look at fast DDR5-6600, the percentages tend to increase by around 5% across the board. So some games can exhibit huge gains, but mostly you're buying into a DDR5 motherboard to be able to put in faster RAM a few years down the line, when faster modules are available and prices are more reasonable. If that's you, then this deal is a solid choice to get you sorted for the short term!
