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?
I say go for DDR5. In case you want to upgrade you don’t need to buy new set of rams. Also, people will look for DDR 5 for their new rig, selling them will likely much easier than having DDR4. I say this because I could not sell my old sticks after major upgrade LOL.
