One thing we know about DDR5 is that it's faster than DDR4 by the most commonly marketed numbers, but those numbers are just a measure of

With DDR5 being much faster than DDR4, the CL numbers go up too But that doesn't mean it's slower It's faster, because the clock speed is so

ddr4 and ddr5 same slot As noted already, DDR5 uses a different operating voltage than DDR4, has a different architecture, and has the key slot in a different location
