DDR4 vs. DDR5 RAM: What's the Difference?
Briefly

"DDR4 usually has a CAS latency of 16, while DDR5 will have a CAS latency of at least 32. However, because of its faster clock speeds, the newer standard has better performance overall."
"Each stick of DDR5 memory has its own power management chip now too, rather than the motherboard handling power distribution. This should result in a more consistent experience when using XMP profiles."
"DDR5 has two 32-bit channels compared to DDR4's single 64-bit channel. Combined with increased speed and efficiency, users can get up to 2X the system bandwidth compared to DDR4 for next-gen, multi-core CPUs."
