I like to grab RAM towards the end of the generation, so far it has been the best bang for my buck (for my personal computer). From the production estimates, looks like I'll jump into DDR5 at the end of 2023 or most likely 2024

Yeah, when DDR4 came out first, the early modules were easily outperformed by good DDR3 modules on every metric except power consumption. DDR5 will be king in a few years.

It will be interesting to see if history repeats. I'm holding off buying a new PC until this is known.

That's a good idea. Haven't thought of that. The price of the ending generation would be great while the maturity has peaked.
