Is DDR5 Memory a Problem in 2022 Laptops? x8 vs x16 RAM

[@JarrodsTech]

We'll investigate single and dual channel with DDR5 soon!

[@JarrodsTech]

Not yet.

[@vikasgupta7438]

Hello does this laptop with RTX 3050 ti support 32GB RAM?

[@rhebucks_zh]

@@vikasgupta7438 no, not yet, it's using upgraded service, pay $60 for the support of up to 48GB DDR5 or 40GB DDR4 april fools

[@mariuspuiu9555]

@Jan Dominic Detablan you can use something like Hardware Info (HWiNFO) to look at your system's specs. Under Memory select a module and look for "Number of bank groups" (it should be 8 or 16). for the ranks look for "Number of ranks (it should be 1 or 2). You can also search the part number online to confirm it.

[@JoshCravesTech]

Wow exactly what I was waiting for. Seems like DDR5 x16 is much better than DDR4 x16 was! Thank goodness 😂

[@zyanchuah]

im pretty sure ddr6 x16 will be much better than ddr5 x16 too :D

[@FriendlyPCGamers]

Waiting for DDR15 x16 vs DDR15 x8

[@leonzspotg]

question is will they be in stock anytime soon lol

[@madcrowmaxwell]

DDR 5 seems to work better with x16 memory than DDR 4 did. That said, DDR 5 timings are super loose, especially on laptops. Maybe x8 memory would allow for tighter timings and better latencies, but we likely won't see that for a while.

[@TheMacco26]

Yeah, and even those brands which let DDR4 laptops to overclock DRAM timings (e.g. Eluktronics/XMG) have the BIOS disabled for DDR5, possibly because DDR5 SODIMM it's not yet mature technology to do that. I've read DDR5 would allow per-stick Voltage regulations, probably the best scenario is to keep everything automatic and do not allow any user interaction for this. But this means JEDEC only speeds out there.

[@afc8981]

Most laptops will just run DDR4 RAM at their JEDEC timings - they'll ignore whatever profile that comes loaded on the sticks. I believe there are different tiers of JEDEC timings for DDR5, but whether a laptop will default to the most performant profile is a guessing game.

[@_TrueDesire_]

it's the same every new generation. i went from DD3 1866Mhz, DD4 2666 Mhz later on for my Ryzen build 3600 Mhz and now my laptop with DDR5 with 4800 Mhz have as you mentioned looser timings. it's just how it is. but real world latency doesn't really increase but bandwidth increase significantly.

[@BobOfAllTrades]

We are seeing the same thing here. For the first time in several generations you can still get great performance running a single 16 GB stick. Of course the same cannot quite be said about a single 8.

[@bryancalle7352]

Here we go baby! Was waiting for this to drop!

[@davemeech]

Awesome video, you're definitely the one guy in this realm that digs this deep into these nuances.

[@123Suryasis]

I think the architecture difference in DDR5 Memory is making this much less of an issue. Unlike previous DDR memory, DDR5 has 2 memory controller per module in 2x32 bit configuration. That's why 2 stick DDR5 can run in quad channel. In DDR4 memory, a single memory controller faces delays while accessing multiple memory banks in x16 configuration which looks like far more negligible in DDR5 due to having two memory controller per module.

[@sahilrawat5621]

Thank You Jarrod!!... seems like this year we are fine with x16 over x8, thank God 😊

Will be interesting to see how the next batch of DDR5 memory controllers do. We will know by years end if the current Intel controller holds DDR5 back or if its the other way around.

Jarod's channels on 🔥 📛 in 2022, great content as always.

[@stuartlunsford7556]

Looking at the timings you showed, it seems that they've locked in the TRFC. That was one of the bigger problems with x16 DDR4, TRFC would be waaaaay higher.

[@joelconolly5574]

Pretty fair result. I guess with newer technology the difference between the timings won't matter too much or cause greater bottleneck. Even if games will support DDR5 it doesn't seem like having either x8 or x16 would be much of an issue, let alone give better performance boost/deficiency. The next step in games is probably high resolution gaming. Now real question: Seeing that Intel 12th gen supports both DDR4 and DDR5, can we use DDR4 in 12th gen machines? And if so, what kind of advantage or problems will we experience, especially performance wise. You can do this benchmarks when you really need to tho. No rush,

[@mingyi456]

There are cheaper laptop models with ddr4, but they also come with a totally different design so an actual fair comparison will be harder to get.

[@Alexander-wt3os]

Details are awsome. I like how you say all details👍👍👍

[@KuldeepKumar-qg6gg]

Thanks. Your video saved me a lot of headache :)

[@Aditya-sj4ev]

[@petkozhivkov4271]

It is not because of the DDR5 but because of the Alder Lake. If you test DDR4 x8 vs x16 on 12700H you will see the same negligible diffrence as the DDR5. Seems like the Adler Lake controller works differently.

[@sushimshah2896]

I read somewhere that apparently DDR5 can have dual-channel on a single stick (not sure if regular desktop DIMMs or even laptops SODIMMs)

[@stephenallen4635]

ddr5 operates on two 32 bit channels per stick as opposed to a single 64bit channel on ddr4. Doesnt really affect bandwidth but helps in certain situations. Do be aware though vendors will advertise dual and quad channel setups which are the equivalent of single and dual channel ddr4 respectivly

[@newlearner8701]

I think the amd version more susceptible to these ram problems last year... Did Ryzen 6000s also immune to these DDR5 differences...

[@白小仙]

Great subject! But I still have some question about 8+16or 8+32 in ddr5 memory. The legion slim 7i only allows me to use 8+16 or 8+32, will the performance decrease in ddr5 memory? I have no answer in google.

[@tileeq]

In ddr5 2x8GB sticks are always x16, 2x16GB stick are always x8, and 2x32GB sticks are dual rank x8.

[@Daervar]

Given how long I keep laptops (I'm currently looking to replace my 2010 Vaio), I wouldn't get anything less than 32GB. I don't think the speed would be quite as high on my priority list though. Sure, if it was a desktop and you could specify every single component I would. But with laptops you always have to compromise somewhere. Memory speed is something I would compromise on.

[@Omaks73]

It makes no sense to buy a laptop with DDR5 32 Gb if you don't need these 32 Gb at the moment. This is just a first gen of DDR5 memory with an insane price. If you'll need 32Gb of ram later, you can buy a new gen (gen2, gen3?) of DDR5 ram for much less and upgrade your laptop.

[@khangvinh4656]

@@Omaks73 I agree too. DDR5 is currently in it infancy so prices are going to be way higher than they should be so buying DDR4 is still a viable option at the moment until prices stabilized.

[@ADAR48]

In my personal opinion would recommend you to wait, i read news about it and info and there are 2 points en the RTX 4000 that make me take the decision to wait, looks like the best RTX 3000 have a maximum of around 10,000 cuda cores and the best of the RTX 4000 will come with around 18,000 cuda cores and looks like the RTX 4060 (the cheapier and "smaller" of those ones) will have the potency of an RTX 3090, so i would wait, it's better wait to make a better investment that will last longer. It's my personal opinion, it will be better if you do some research.

[@steveco1800]

@@ADAR48 That's desktop rumors but they're also expected to need more power and laptops can't cope so easily with extra heat so it'll limit performance gains. Also the cuda cores jumped significantly from RTX 2000 to 3000 but performance didn't scale linearly with it. I'd guess a RTX 4060 laptop could be around the RTX 3080 laptop performance, but with inflation like it is if you see a bargain RTX 3070 or higher then it may be worth it if you want something sooner. RTX 4000 will not be cheap.

[@Waggel86]

Aren't these new laptops supposed to be quad channel, even with just two DIMMs? I'm pretty sure the Ryzen 6000 series does. That should improve latency as well.

Oh yeah, makes sense. Sorry idk what's with me just now that I asked a pointless question 😅.

Depends if we ever see x16 16gb sticks I guess! But my guess is it would be far more minimal compared to DDR4 for the reasons noted near the end of the video.

ddr4 x8 = 4 bank groups= gud ddr4 x16 = 2 bank groups = bad but ddr5 x16 = 4 bank groups = gud With ddr4, a chip with x16 meant the internal configuration only had 2 bank groups (as opposed to 4 bank groups in ddr4 x8). Reading/Writing to the same bank group sequentially is slower than going to a different bank group. So with only 2 bank groups, the probability of having to go to the same bank group was high, so the higher latency (slower) read/writes were used more often. With ddr4 x8 and 4 bank groups, the probability of being able to go to a different bank groups was high, so the faster read/writes were predominant. Now with the ddr5 standard, bank groups are doubled compared to ddr4. So even x16 in ddr5 now has 4 bank groups (same # as what gud ddr4 had). 👍

[@DragonOfTheMortalKombat]

@@60DollarCodger So DDR5 x8 is very gud, right? I mean 8 bank groups.

[@60DollarCodger]

@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat haha. technically it's probably more gud. however, as Jarrod showed in this video, x8 ddr5 with 8 bank groups yielded only 'margin of error' levels of improvement over x16 ddr5 with 4 bank groups. thus, the conclusion seems to be that the threshold for noticeable improvement is just having more than 2 bank groups.

Hey Jarrod, can you make a comparison between Acer Helios 300 and Legion 5 pro. Most people are getting confused with these two laptop. Some say Helios outperform legion and some otherssays legion outperform Helios. But we know for sure, that your words are the final judgement.

[@charleshines2142]

I have tried software like Passmark Rammon. It is free and has reliably told me what memory modules are installed. It tells you everything it can about them even the part number. Once you have the part number you can dig for more information on it. If you don't believe it try it on your desktop. If you built your own PC you might even still have the packaging it came in. Usually that would have a sticker with most if not all of the same information on the sticker on the RAM stick. One thing to note is a x16 module will have fewer chips than a x8 module of the same capacity usually. Think of those KZbin reviews of some Dells that have memory modules that look like they have almost no chips. Now by comparison look at server RAM. It is going to be *loaded* with RAM chips. That is most likely x4 RAM and not something you would see in a typical desktop PC. Keep in mind that servers are typically high performance machines with processors that have a *lot* of processor cores and maybe multiple CPUs. You can imagine that a lot of gamers have wondered what it would be like to run their favorite titles on a thing like that and though it would be overkill it would most certainly not disappoint!

[@reubenlaitthma1048]

So when it comes to laptop ram/sodimms, how do I identify x8 vs x16? 8 chips on one side means x8 and 4 chips on one side means it's x16...?

[@ops-james]

Hey Jarrod, I am thinking about buying a laptop, probably GE76 and I thought it would be a good idea to place it on a stand and put some 120mm fans underneath it for extra circulation of air. Do you think this will be better than a cooling pad?

[@RocketWaifu]

First of all sorry if my English is bad and make mistakes. I've seen a lot of videos about this topic, all of them reach to the same conclusion: Just buy a normal stand, that increase the performance. The fans only increase it a little and even in some laptops is worse than without turning it on. So just buy a normal cooling pad and save the money!

What do you think? Does the better CPU and the newer ram make up for the GPU? My senses tell me that I'll be better off with last year's model... Anyway, thank you for all the helpful and thorough reviews mate! Subscribed.

[@AlexandreG]

Might this be because of those frequencies still not being fully optimized by games to take advantage of the x8 more than the x16? I'm no expert, I might be saying some nonsense here, I'm just asking if you think it's a possibility since you know more than me! Good video ✌

[@60DollarCodger]

It's a good question. You're right that ddr5 will get faster rated MT/s throughout its lifespan. However, I don't think the speed of the ddr5 will drastically change the results observed under the scope of this test. The reason why x16 chips were 'naughty' on ddr4 was because they only had 2 bank groups, so the probability was high of having to hit the same bank group sequentially. Sequential read/writes to the same bank group are slow compared to those operations going to different bank groups each time (regardless of the ram speed). So now with ddr5 x16 having 4 bank groups -- like what the "fast" x8 ddr4 had -- the fundamental problem has been solved that previously caused the tangible difference in ddr4 x16 vs ddr4 x8 👍

[@steveco1800]

Just in case you're still wondering on this one, I highly recommend the Fury Impact with CL20. I've fitted 2x 8gb sticks in my Legion 5 with a 5800H and 3070 and it's making a huge difference - I only have benchmark numbers for Horizon Zero Dawn at the moment, but framerate in the built-in benchmark has gone from 58 to 85 fps at 1440p Ultimate.

[@imglidinhere]

I think the problem we're seeing here is that DDR5 4800 is effectively the slowest that DDR5 memory will ever sit at. It's like trying to compare different kits of DDR4 2133 to see which is the best. Not surprised to see so little of a difference. Would love to see this revisited in the future when DDR5 has matured more and we get some seriously good kits. There are already desktop kits hitting 6400 CL32, so... give it a year at least and I think we'll see some substantial gains going forward. :D

Can we use 1rx8 with 2rx8? Or will it cause any blue screen issue?

[@tileeq]

To get 2rx8 on ddr5 you need 2 sticks of 32GB

Hi Jarrod, do you know the lifespawn of a laptoap like lenovo legion 5 pls?

[@mudassirshahab4891]

I have a very important question, so should I buy a Lenovo legion 5 for everyday use. Like for studying and casual gaming here and there?

[@Thedarkknight74-25]

Of course

[@RIDULRAZWINRIDZ]

Which Laptop config is the best value? Ryzen 9 5900h/Rtx3060/16gb dd4/Qhd 100%srgb screen)- 1790$ (converter from inr) i7 12700h /Rtx3060/16gb ddr5 / Fhd 100%srgb screen)-1922$(converted from inr)

I think intel 12th gen with ddr5 and pcie 4.0 support offers better future-proofing and upgradability. Besides, i don't think you can get high enough fps on qhd with a 3060.

[@Candelus]

for gaming purely FHD is enough, with QHD for consistent fps you'll need more than 3060 depends on the GPU wattage. A 3060 Legion 5 should be fine with QHD but a low wattage 3060 laptop will suffer hard. for productivity and media consumption, QHD is always better.

In terms of cooling and longevity, would you recommend the new Msi ge76 raider or Rog Strix Scar?

[@killerra]

GE76 is the clear king

[@blue4059]

The new GE76 will have marginally better performance. But new Scar 17 will have better - display, keyboard, touchpad, speakers, battery life, microphone, build quality, etc etc. Your choice.

[@pinheadlarry1620]

@@blue4059 I know the raider has better performance overall, but my concern is which one has the better cooling system and then performance comes 2nd.
