Reply to comment by tokynambu in 32 kB of RAM from 1974 compared to 32 GB of RAM today by Aegisx3

You just claimed that DDR5 SDRAM isn’t faster than magnetic core memory. Then you moved the starting point from core memory to mid-80’s DRAM, a completely different thing. Then gave the state of the art as 100ns when it’s more like 25ns if you stop to search. Then you still came up with 3x improvement in contradiction to the first sentence.

That's a fair comment: I was comparing with the 80s, not the 70s.

However, I don't see how you get "Then gave the state of the art as 100ns" when I explicitly wrote "Today synchronous memory has a first word latency of the order of 10ns;"
