AM5 DDR5 would be 2022?
Waiting an additional 2 years is ok? maybe 20 months. There was news of still using DDR4 only for another year. Consider that the only devices using a variant of DDR5 is Samsung Galaxy S20 and some other cell phones released this year.

also considering the amount of ramp up performance from peak ddr4 (which we probably haven't reached yet) would take at least a year or 2 (so 2024 for noticeable performance gains from ram) and remember the early adopter tax. DDR4 is cheap now. 32gb pc25600 for 160$ CDN. It's a commodity and they are still burning through pandemic stock up. Prices will likely increase next year.

Internal AMD roadmap shows DDR5 and native USB 4.0 support arriving in 2022l

At any rate, until intel provides some better performance (long awaited 10nm next year honest!) there may be a theoretical holding pattern at the moment, and we'll see if AMD will continue their iteration process or hold on for a moment.

Maybe maybe maybe 3080 stock will come in, in November because
everyone will be buying AMD as they'll be more available. As always it's a rumor and not indicative of final performance numbers.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT “Big Navi” GPU Alleged 3DMark Benchmarks Leaked – Faster Than GeForce RTX 3080 at 4K, Slower In Port Royal Ray Tracing

So the other calculation is, is faster ray tracing worth it now, or is the old way of rendering games still viable until there are more software titles using it?

Still consider that the leaked benchmark has whatever the radeon card is as having 96% performance of a 2080ti in ray tracing. So that's not a slow implementation at all and would still offer a considerable amount of performance over a 2060 super.
