The DDR5 memory specification should be finalized by the end of this year
Some hardware experts believed that DDR4 memory would be the last we see of the DRAM standard, but now it seems that DRAM still has a lot of life in it as the DDR5 memory standard is now in development.
Right now it is expected that the DDR5 memory specification will be finalized and released by the end of the year and start reaching PCs in 2020. This new memory standard will be designed with modern manufacturing processes in mind, allowing this new memory type to offer increased capacities as well as increased speeds and reduced power consumption.
The DDR4 memory specification was developed when 40nm and 50nm manufacturing processes were used for making DRAM, which are hugely different to today's 14nm and 10nm memory manufacturing processes. DDR4 as it stands has a lot of shortcomings, especially in the server markets, though DDR5 is only expected to live until around 2025.
You can join the discussion on the DDR5 specification on the OC3D Forums.

QuoteI remember 8 Pack posting a load of bench figures on another forum when DDR4 arrived to show how fast it was. I think I was the only one at the time who pointed out his scores where hardly better than if he was using DDR3.
DDR4 = higher MHz but terrible timings, will DDR5 be even worse.Quote
