I am building a machine for my “productivity” loads (mostly large code bases compilations + lots of virtual machines).
Main specs: intel i7 13700K, no gpu, 1tb m.2
Because of vms I run, I need some ram, so I would buy 64gb. Should I go DDR4 3200 or DDR5 5600?
DDR4 is quite cheaper, also motherboard is quite cheaper, so it adds up. But would DDR4 be a bottleneck for cpu?
Most reviews talk about gaming, but maybe ddr4 and ddr5 effect my workloads different?
My 2 cents: i built 2 rigs with ddr4 because awesome value. But don’t use 3200 ddr4 thats obsolet. Instead go with 3600 cl 16, or 4000 cl 18. With those You Will eliminate the bottleneck.
