There’s GDDR5 in GPU’s and there’s DDR3 on RAM Sticks, but I wonder if DDR5 Ram is gonna be available soon or if it’s in development?

Could anybody put some light on the same?

Well considering the slow adoption of DDR3, and the fact that Core i7 chips are going to be restricted to DDR3 due to the memory controller, its unlikly that DDR5 or DDR4 is going to show up for at least a year. Intel is generally the first to jump on the new memory standards in the desktop space. Since we won't see a CPU refresh for a year the probability of a new memory standard is quite low.

Allso the numbering between DDR and GDDR is not related directly...

My guess is ddr5 won't be out for at least 3-4 years.

agreed, ddr3 was just released not that long ago and is now starting to become affordable. Plus DDR4 hasn't even been revealed yet.
