Can ddr4 fit in ddr5 slot?

Just to clarify DDR5 is not backwards compatible with DDR4, it's a completely different DIMM slot. There will be DDR4 and DDR5 Alder Lake motherboards, but you have to pick which memory type you want to use, this is very important information for those upgrading.

What happens if you put ddr4 in ddr5?
DDR4 and DDR5's keying notch is in a different position, so it is physically impossible to install a DDR4 module into a DDR5 slot (or vice versa) without damaging the module and/or slot.

Is ddr5-4800 better than ddr4-3200?
For Intel's 12th generation “Alder Lake” processors, DDR4 will run at speeds up to 3200 Megatransfers per second (MT/s), and DDR5 will run up to 4800 MT/s. This means DDR5 transfers data at up to 38.4 gigabytes per second (GB/s), while DDR4 tops out at 25.6 GB/s.

Can ddr4 ram fit in ddr3?

DDR
Double Data Rate (DDR), also known as DDR1, is the second generation of Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). As its name implies, double data rate refers to its ability to read and write data on both the rising and falling of the system clock to achieve nearly twice the bandwidth of single data rate (SDR) SDRAM.

4 is not backward-compatible with DDR3 so a DDR4 DIMM will not fit on a DDR3 DIMM slot. Not only is the key notch of each DDR generation different (please refer to Figure 1 above), but the DDR4 pin size and arrangement is different from DDR3.

Is ddr5 6000 better than ddr4 3600?
Here, each increase in RAM frequency translated into considerably higher compression speed. Upgrading from DDR4-3200 to DDR5-6000 meant a speed increase of 61% while switching from DDR4-3600 to DDR5-7200 offered a speed boost of almost 66%!
