DDR4 - x2 times as fast as DDR3

[MrMarvelous]

Surprised there isn't a thread on this, it's supposedly coming out sometime next month!

A new mobo will be required and starting speeds are supposed to be 2133Mhz.

Of course DDR4 has a different architecture, meaning we are going to need a different motherboard, we can’t just put them in our old DDR3 systems. But, is it worth upgrading to DDR4? Crucial Memory also provided a comparison chart with some specifications of what DDR4 will offer, just to show you the difference. The DDR4 will only eat up 1.2Volts as stated by Crucial , while having twice the speed of DDR3 Memory. DDR4 will run on a base memory speed of 2133MHz while having 4GB as their minimum density. According to the chart, we can see that DDR4 is 100% faster than DDR3, requires 20% less voltage and has 300% more density than that of DDR3.

I think i'll be looking to upgrade in Q3 2014 then. Would like a whole new PC.
