So now, with the Intel's 12:10 launch, we have available to
separate generations of ram.
We have the ddr5, which I have inside there, and then get it
out, because I'm actually using the system at the moment, and
then we have ddr4 and Intel Strachan supports both of these
things.
You can have ddr4 motherboards and ddr5 motherboards.
Now, if you are a creator, is it worth getting the ddr5 or is
ddr4 as good?
What is the difference?
Is it worth it?
Is it not worth it?
Well, I have run over a hundred different benchmarks for
creators.
I'm glad they're certain that after this video, going to find
out if ddr5 is worth it or not, Motion Array is a fantastic
tool for creators to make better videos and faster.

Before we go on to the benchmarks.
There are few, very important things you need to know before.
This video makes sense to you.
Ddr5 is like very early days.
It has some issues.
If you want to know more about those issues than I recommend
you check out my video.
I'm going to link it up there as well, where I'm going to
talk about more about like the 12th jenin issues and things
like that.
But it's improving every single week, and it's already more
stable than my early days, what I actually made, you know,
reviews of the I-5 and I9 in terms of the mark scores, I ran
every single Benchmark for every single application, at
least three times to create a pattern.
If the pattern doesn't appear in the three benchmarks, I'm
gonna have to run the 4th and 5th and so on, run until a
pattern appears.
For example, if you run three benchmarks, one is quite High.
One is in the middle, and one is low, then it doesn't really
give you the average.
Does the actual system lean towards more of the higher side,
or the Lower Side on the middle side is very important to know.
So every single benchmarks that you see is an average of at
least three tests.
I tested all the ddr4 on Windows 11 as well as ddr5 on
Windows 11.
Now I use the ddr5 early Benchmark from Windows 10 as
the Baseline, because early days, the Windows 10 was
actually better or faster on any of the 12 Change systems
than Windows 11.
But now, just before making this video I made another load
of Benchmark runs with the ddr5 on the the new like Windows 11
and every single program optimized to the latest
software updates, because there's been a lot of updates.
So now we can see how much the windows between Windows 10
Windows 11 we have before performance improvements with
the ddr5 and how the ddr5 like has already improved since the
early benchmarks.
In terms of the ddr5 testing platform, we are using the zx
90 Pro our motherboard from a Asus.
We are running the 12600k i5 as the CPU of our choice.
The ddr5 ram we using is Kingston fury Beast, the ddr5
it's rated at 50 200 megahertz at CL 40, but we are running
four sticks of them forty eight hundred megahertz and CL 38
because there's some stability issues.
I recommend you check out the video mentioned earlier about
the 12th gen issues, where I'm going to go more into the
issues with DDR5 files and things like that.
Then you understand why we running this at 4800 megahertz.
So potentially there is actually more umm of ddr5
because I am not running the ddr5 not at all at this highest
like capable, you know, specs the cooler is the Rog ryjjn 360
and the GPU is Asus tuf r-tx 3091 we move on to the ddr4
platform we are using by i5 12 600k.
The motherboard is the gigabyte zed, 690 are OG ddr4.
There is D DM 5 version of that motherboard as well.
But if you want to check out these motherboards or previews
of all these things, go check them out on my channel before
ddr4 Ram.
We are using three separate kits.
We are using Gigabyte desiganre here.
This is 64 gigabytes of ddr4.
This is running at 30 to 100 megahertz, a CL 16.
It's basically very mid-range, very affordable, like the
cheapest of the bunch 64 GB two sticks.
The Branding for these DDR4 is not important.
What's important is that the specs 32 hundred megahertz seal
16 next of all, we're running young at Kingston Fury RGB
sticks.
And these are 64 GB two sticks running at 30 600 MHz CL 8 team.
And then the third ddr4 we're checking is Kingston Fury as
well.
And this is Renegade, but now we're running four sticks of 16
gigabytes still 64 gigabytes in total, but the latency is a
lower CL 16 and 36 hundred megahertz.
So we're testing if the latency has an impact and all of these
programs as well as the frequency.
So then looking at the benchmarks, first of all,
cinebench benchmarks.
And it's no point in really sharing this with you, because
they're all the same.
The cinebench is not like Ram, really focused.
So whatever Romney running for cinebench, it doesn't really
matter, but moving on to geekbench.
And now this is interesting, because geekbench tastes
different like everyday tasks and the multi score and single
score.
The ram difference is actually different.
So on the screen, what you can see is the Baseline is is like
I mentioned before is the early Benchmark of ddr5 at forty
eight hundred megahertz on Windows 10 Pro.
So as you can see, the ddr5 new, which is, you know, all the
software updates is 1035 235 percent faster.
The thirty-six hundred megahertz CL 18 is 2 percent
slower.
Thirty-six hundred megahertz CL 16 is roughly four point six
percent slower and thirty-two hundred megahertz eels 16 is
roughly six point two percent slower in of the single cause
speeds.
The difference isn't as much the new ddr5 benchmarks are 27
percent faster.
The 3600 CL 16 is 27% slower.
Thirty-six hundred megahertz el8 in is 29% slower, and the
32 hundred megahertz seal 16 is 33 percent slower, moving on to
photoshop.
We're seeing some very interesting results.
I will DD F 5 early results are actually on the lowest of the
bunch.
Over here.
Thirty-six hundred megahertz seals 16 is point four percent
faster, thirty-two hundred megahertz CL 16.
The cheapest Ram is 25 percent faster.
The third is 600 MHz cl 18 is a 39 percent faster.
And the latest ddr5 Benchmark on Windows 11 is 7% faster.
So ddr5 has done quite a big leap in photo editing before
mints here.
Lightroom classic another photo editing application over here,
and we have a little bit of different results.
So ddr5 with the latest benchmarks is 55 percent faster
than the early versions.
The third is 600 MHz seal 18 is point one percent faster than
the ddr5 early benchmarks, thirty two hundred megahertz
seals 16 is 15 percent slower than the ddr5 and the
thirty-six hundred megahertz CL 16 is 28 percent slower our
moving on to video editing and Premiere Pro.
We're using the standard overall Benchmark score from
bhujette Pinch.
And the ddr5 in newer version is point three percent faster
on Windows 11 than on Windows 10, which is good news,
actually, because earlier versions were quite a bit
slower and windows 11 so Adobe Premiere pro and Windows 11 you
know, they work together.
So ddr5 now finally, is faster on Windows 11 then on Windows
10, the third is 600 MHz seal sixteen is four point three
percent slower 36 hundred megahertz CLA clean is 49
percent slower, and the 32 hundred megahertz CL 16 is 67%
slower.
Moving on to After Effects the newer benchmarks of ddr5 are 16
percent faster than the earlier versions of DDR five, thirty
six hundred megahertz CL 18 is 16 percent slower.
3200mah 2016 is 26 percent slower 3600mah cl 16 a is 34
percent slower on DaVinci Resolve extended score.
We seen something very, very odd on Windows 10.
The score of ddr5 was massively different than on the latest
benchmarks on Windows 11 and I think there is a some kind of a
mistake, or were there, how the benchmarks have run, because I
can show you on the standard overall score.
It's all the same.
But just the extended seems to be much higher on Windows
attend with the earlier versions of ddr5 than even on
the latest versions of ddr5 on Windows 11.
So if you look at those benchmarks, then the latest
version of ddr5 with the all the updated, you know, windows
and software is nine point four percent slower than the earlier
version of DDR5.
Five benchmarks 3600mah CL 18 is 9 point 8 percent slower 36
hundred megahertz CL 16 is 10 percent slower 3200mah cl 16
A's 109 percent slower.
But if we look at the standard overall score, we're actually
The Benchmark results are more like slotted into the same
category.
We don't see that much of a difference between all these
tests.
But the ddr5 early version of Windows 10 is still faster than
all the other Ram kids over here.
We have 36 hundred megahertz seal 16 which is 11 percent
slower 3600mah cl 18 is 1.2 percent slower ddr5 version
latest version is 15 percent slower, and the 32 hundred
megahertz cl 16 is 19
percent slower.
But on DaVinci Resolve, I need to make a very important note
over here that the latest version of The Benchmark was
run at know X and P.
So the DDF I was running at 4000 Mega Hertz instead of 48
hundred megahertz, which will give a little bit of an impact.
And you can lose like, I think, up to 5% or something like that,
because just the system wasn't stable.
And I wasn't able to complete the benchmarks with 4800 MHz.
When we looking at the blender benchmarks and things like that,
then it's the same.
There's no point of me reading out those benchmarks to you,
because all the different Ram configurations are within the
margin of error.
So I can tell you that one is better than the other one.
As long as you have lots of RAM for blender, you're all right.
Another test that wanted to do is with the igp you, because
when you're running the in any of those systems, the ram also
becomes the igp you kind of ram of, You Know, video memory for
the ajab you inside the CPU.
So if you're looking at the DDF 540 800 megahertz, then that is
now our Baseline, not the earlier version, because
they're exactly the same thirty-six hundred megahertz CL
18 is 12 percent slower 36 hundred megahertz CL 16 is 14
percent slower.
So they're basically the same.
The frequency here here is more important than the latency.
Thirty two hundred megahertz is a three percent slower.
That's the opencl score geekbench 5gb, you score for
the Vulcan scores.
The DDF 5 is 100 percent.
Obviously, 36 hundred megahertz seal 18 is 26 percent slower
and thirty-six hundred megahertz CL 16 is 34 percent
slower, and the 3200mah CL sixteen is four point six
percent slower.
So with all of those benchmarks now out of the way, what is the
conclusion?
Is ddr5 worth it over ddr4, looking at the price, what
you're paying for ddr5 you can clearly see that in terms of
the money invested on the ddr5 it is not worth it.
It's not so different for creators than ddr4 one
interesting thing I noticed with all of these benchmarks is
that this 36 hundred megahertz CL 16 kit, which is faster
latency than this seal 18 kids same frequency.
But you know, a bit lower of latency on this one was
actually faster than this fastest faster latency.
And I think this is to do with the memory controller on the
chip, because we're running four sticks instead of
statistics on this chips.
And that's why it's a little bit, you know, slower.
If you want to get the two sticks of exactly the same
latency saw 36 hundred megahertz, but seal 16 that's
going to cost quite a bit a bit.
And there isn't that many sticks out there if you want 32
GB sticks per each or 64 gigabytes in total.
So I don't think the thirty-six hundred megahertz seal 16 is
worth it.
As you can see, the best bang for buck really is the 36
hundred megahertz CL 18.
I know people say, latency world that isn't, you know,
that good compared to seal 16 but compared to the results
what I've seen over here, it is often a few percent more of
then the thirty two hundred megahertz, which is very, very
affordable.
So it is a little bit faster.
So if you want to get like the most out of your system, I
think it's worth thirty-six hundred megahertz seal 18
sticks, because there's lots of these ones available, very
affordable prices.
I'm going to leave some of them in the description below at the
same time.
I think the best plan for bulk, really of this is thirty two
hundred megahertz CL 16 because it's not that different from 36
hundred megahertz, but you're paying like a a lot less than
36 hundred megahertz, depending on the deals and things like
that.
Sometimes thirty six hundred megahertz is a little bit more
affordable, but I think that's the best bank for Bob.
So interestingly, actually, I thought that the video editing
difference is going to be where the ram is going to be a lot
different.
And compared to the overall benchmarks, actually, in
Photoshop, for example, is the biggest difference we see, like
probably seven percent difference between ddr4 and
ddr5 in the video applications we've seen, like maybe a few
percent 5%.
I don't.
We should really get them 10% difference from DaVinci Resolve
benchmarks, because I think that is a little bit off.
When you're looking at the standard score, they're all
more like in the same ballpark and things like that.
But what I do want to mention, looking at other craters and
other people who have tested the idea for veggies ddr5 than
Optimum Tech found out that the video transcoding is much
faster with ddr5.
So if you're doing a lot of creating proxies, or converting
one video file to the other, then ddr5 is quite a bit faster,
and that's may be worth it if that is a lot in your workflow.
But overall, generally video editing ddr5 is not worth it at
the moment.
Now, bear in mind my ddr5 is quite an average speed, really
48 hundred megahertz isn't anything special.
You could really get ddr4 with the same frequency.
But ddr4 and ddr5 isn't just the like speed of the ram
that's different.
You can see this as like a highway ddr4 is like a too late.
I weigh Wednesday ddr5 actually has four lanes of highway.
So there's more data kind of push through there as well, not
just the frequency.
So ddr4 has to have like a bit faster, you know, like cars
transporting those
data across where's Delia for of ddr5 sorry has more lanes,
and you can have more at the same time, kind of going across.
That's just very simple explanation.
At the same time, ddr5 is the future, but that just the video
for the early adopters who want to go for the 12th Jenna
wondering, should I go with the ddr5 or ddr4 motherboard at the
same time?
One thing you might want to consider is the upgrade ability
in the future, if you get a ddr5 motherboard ddr5 is going
to be like launched a lot this year, and the next year,
everything's going to move on to dd5, so you might be stuck
with the idea for
if you want to go up with the idea for motherboard.
But if budget is the option for you at the moment, you might
need to go with the idea for just because ddr5 is so
expensive and there that much capacity available for ddr5 for
example, to find the 32 gigabyte stick each for ddr5.
It's very, very hard at the moment, and XMP doesn't work
for four sticks anyway, things like that, but it's going to
get better, you know, as we go on, but at this point in time,
ddr5 isn't worth it.
Okay, guys, I hope this helped you to decide what the DDR5 and
DDR4.
You know which one is the right?
One for you, is it worth it?
You know, is it better or not generally?
Not really better at this point in time, but ddr5 is still the
future, and that's which way we are heading.
I'd love to hear from you what you think in the comment
section below.
I'm going to leave the things that I mentioned in the
description below if you want to pick any of those up, as
always, if you're new here, soups, if you'd like to see
