Amazon lists the first set of DDR5 RAM with no motherboard to plug it into

Teamgroup's $300 memory set goes live, but no current AMD or Intel motherboard can them

Teamgroup launched its first best gaming RAM has the capability to hit speeds of up to 8,400MHz. Surprisingly, the memory has already found its way onto a US Amazon listing, and if you buy it, the delivery driver should knock on your door with a box of fifth generation sticks before the end of July.

With Intel's DDR5-friendly Zen 4 chips not arriving until next year, it begs the question: what on earth can you actually slot these new modules into?

It's not a complete waste of time getting your foot in the door sooner rather than later, however. None of the current DDR4 rise earlier this year.

As the first DDR5 modules to hit retail, they're not the cheapest set in the world, coming in at $310.99. For comparison, two 16GB sticks of Teamgroup's RGB-clad DDR4 RAM will set you back almost half the price at $164.99. This will likely be the same story for the entire first wave as brands such as Corsair, Crucial, G.Skill, Kingston, and more hop on board.
