Personally I'm stuck on DDR4 since quite some time now, I just don't need faster RAM. Wonder if we're hitting a sort of gradual slope in needs.

You don't need faster RAM because your system is designed around slow RAM.

If you had faster system RAM, overflowing GPU VRAM wouldn't be such a big deal and much faster iGPUs would be viable.

If you had massively faster system RAM, video cards wouldn't really need VRAM at all.

You'd need a faster system bus though, but I guess that doesn't have to cost very much.
