I am building a machine for my “productivity” loads (mostly large code bases compilations + lots of virtual machines).

Main specs: intel i7 13700K, no gpu, 1tb m.2

Because of vms I run, I need some ram, so I would buy 64gb. Should I go DDR4 3200 or DDR5 5600?

DDR4 is quite cheaper, also motherboard is quite cheaper, so it adds up. But would DDR4 be a bottleneck for cpu?

Most reviews talk about gaming, but maybe ddr4 and ddr5 effect my workloads different?

    It is ddr4 2x32gb kit cl16 vs ddr5 2x32gb kit cl40. I read somewhere that ddr4 cl16 is same as ddr5 cl40?
