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?

    E cores can’t be virtualized or hyper threaded. Get a 7950x

    Then for peak performance, you can get a high density ram kit and run it fast in dual channel
