Example: If a PC has 32GB of DDR5/4800 and you say the RAM is running at 4,800MHz, you’ll immediately hear a million nerds suddenly cry out in unison: “It’S NoT MeGaHeRtZ!!!” That shriek has apparently finally caught the ear of Microsoft, because the company looks to be ready to use the correct nomenclature in Windows Task Manager when refe…
