Wow isn't that a little slow?

Current Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3 can do 10-12-12-31 2400mhz at 1.6V which makes this DDR4 very unimpressive to me

Lol I knew ddr4 would be a waste of time. It's only the beginning they'll sort out those timings in the coming months.

This is hopefully teething problems

DDR 3 timings were worse than DDR 2, so I wouldn't worry. Sure I have read somewhere that they will be doing 4000mhz+

its gonna be faster than anything previous so timings wont matter

And unless your benching or doing something very memory bandwidth critical it will not make any difference if its 2000mhz or 4000mhz as you can see Linus's video showed it was BS that Corsair and OCUK claims that fast ram making your games faster.

Timings on DDR and DDR2 got done to very nice tight settings on decent lower voltage models than they started out with but DDR3 has not so fart and I doubt will if DDR4 is here soon.


Corsair Platinum DDR 400mhz 5/2/2/2 T1 @ 2.1v (AFAIR)

G.Skill Trident DDR2 1200mhz 5/5/5/15 T1 @ 1.8v

Hasn't every incarnation of DDR had slower timings compared to the previous one. DDR1 was down to 1.5-2-2-5.

 

[Luke_Bowman]

So, since the speed apparently makes no difference in games, and the timings for DDR4 are looser; isn't this a bad thing?

Aside from saving 0.3V

My RAM does 2.4GHz 10-12-12-31 1.65V (2x 8GB)

 

[jh30uk]

2.1 v is wrong for DDR that was the "default" for DDR2 in my above post.

I cannot remember 100% but it was more like 2.6v-2.8v.

Some things benefit better from timings and others bandwidth, in past peeps also claim the same for AMD CPU vs Intel CPU but I cannot remember which preferred timings over bandwidth.

Not really comparable, considering its DDR4 and not 3
Whatever the timings, will be quicker anyway. Remember DDR2 had much tighter timings than DDR3.

You also have to remember how new this is and what the jdec standard is. Wasn't the jdec for ddr3 1333mhz c11? And look where we are now at the end of its life cycle...2933 c12.

I don't think anyone will be complaining a few years down the line when 4000+MHz c16 kits are available.
