You say that, but DDR6 will double the memory bandwidth over DDR5. This means modern systems will go beyond 200GB/s memory bandwidth just for the CPU alone.

> DDR6 will double the memory bandwidth over DDR5

Considering PC desktops. DDR4 is 3200 MT/s max JEDEC. DDR5 is available on AMD since 3 years and is 5600. DDR6 specification is almost finished. It looks like DDR5 will double performance just right before new DDR6 DIMMs appear. Thus I'd expect DDR6 to double the bandwidth just as late when the new memory standard arrives.

And? What real world impact will that have for people typing up an email and browsing the web?
