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?

    I can buy or Kingston Fury 64GB Beast DDR5 5600MHz CL40 KIT or KINGSTON DIMM DDR4 64GB (2x32GB kit) 3200MHz, do you think in that case that ddr5 would be much faster than ddr4
