Although the DDR5 kit has slacker timings, as seen with the latency graph, the actual performance between the two setups is very close. The DDR5 naturally has the larger bandwidth and thus throughput. How will that affect our results in real world benchmarks?

Thanks all. So basically the 13600k and DDR4 are the gamer's go to now.Quote
Excellent comparison, I find the top of the line comparison more relevant with these systems than using some value DDR4 as it is the "budget option". I've invested in b-die, I want to keep using it. 
I find the differences in minimum framerates very interesting, and it is also the most meaningful metric in my opinion. You feel those spikes, not average fps.Quote

Somehow, I find this very worrying. Maybe you guys can take this from me.
As it stand, currently, DDR4 = better for gaming, but could currently existing games get patches to benefit more from DDR5 or does that not lie within a game's engine, but moreso in the OS or CPU itself?
I don't really want to buy "old" tech if the possibility exists that the new tech becomes better even in older games over time.Quote

So, I'll be upgrading my Z690 DDR4 rig to a 13600K and I've also got my B550 5800X3D rig; I think that covers all the bases for me moving forward
