Support for LPDDR5

Tom's Hardware - [1]

Wccftech - [2]

Both of these are reasonable sources. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:47, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

1. Anandtech, quote: "we confirmed with the engineers that this initial silicon revision is built for LPDDR5, however it is still in the process to be validated" 2. No actual SO-DIMM DDR5 modules on the market yet 3. No announced laptops featuring DDR5 yet 4. No information on Intel's own products page, e.g.: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/208664/intel-core-i7-1185g7-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-80-ghz-with-ipu.html

At this point DDR5 support is nothing but a speculation and comes under WP:CBALL. Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 15:12, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

The well-referenced addition makes it clear that the architecture supports it, but products aren't rolling out yet. WP:CRYSTAL doesn't prevent us from commenting on well-sourced future plans. At this point, two editors (the IP and myself) support mention of this with notes and sources; I suggest you use solicit additional input and not edit-war.

Also note that Intel notes on this fact sheet that Tiger Lake has "LP5-5400 architecture capability." OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:42, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

That is still speculation given no products (no RAM modules, CPUs or laptops) at this point but since even a WP editor misinterprets WP's own guidelines I'm walking away. Don't wanna waste my time. It's the first time I overwatch a WP page with blatant speculations presented as facts but whatever suits you. Also WCCFTech is not a reputable source of information - they mostly post unsourced rumors. Also I struggle to understand which part of "in the process to be validated" you don't understand. TGL CPUs have not yet been validated to support DDR5 by JEDEC. Period. If you have any different information, find citations. I'm removing it one last time. Artem S.

Lastly the linked PDF is nonsense in terms of being a proper quote: "Sapphire Rapids is Intel’s next-generation Xeon Scalable processor based on enhanced SuperFin technology and will offer leading industry-standard technologies including DDR5, PCIe Gen 5" No other mentions of DDR5 in it. As for Sapphire Rapids - it's a separate article which indeed mentions DDR5 support. This article is about consumer TGL CPUs which currently do not support DDD5 in any shape or form. Laptops RAM modules cannot be upgraded from one generation of RAM to another one, so listing this support will mislead the readers of the article. If that's fine with you, go with it. Artem S.
