Hi folks i think title says it all. Was just wondering when this will be available thanks
Intel's client chips in 2013 - 2014 timeframe - Haswell, Rockwell/Broadwell - will continue to rely on DDR3 memory since it is expected to provide enough bandwidth for mainstream applications with four cores and integrated graphics engine, especially with some tweaks like embedded DRAM, level four cache and so on.
Now the most intresting thing about the slide is that while Haswell-E processors would be compatible with LGA 2011 socket, they would also offer compatibility with the new LGA 2013 socket. Now the LGA 2013 socket can be seen mentioned in the slide as (2011-3), now we can’t officially say that it would be a new socket so we will have to wait for some official reports. But i guess that since VR-Zone is reporting that Haswell-E would be the first platform to officially bring DDR4 support to consumers, Intel could develop LGA 2013 motherboards with DDR4 DIMMs compatibility while the LGA 2011 socket would restrict users to LGA 2011 socket. Another possibility is that the LGA 2011 socket would feature the X79 chipset which would be backwards compatible with Haswell-E but to gain access to DDR4 support, users would have to move towards the X99 chipset based LGA 2013 motherboards.
It seems clear until now that Broadwell chipsets will be support the new ‘SATA 3.2′ SATA Express chip with codenames Z97 and H97, but its also being found out that Intel plans to have DDR4 memory specification on Haswell-E lineups. Haswell-E is designated to replace Ivy Bridge E, which had only one year of life. 14nm Skylake viz. scheduled for Q1 2015 release will be support DDR4.

I heard someone saying september this yeat guess that was wrong then lol
So desktops earliest will be late 2014
Would there be any support on 1150 for DDR4 with a BIOS update? Would hate to upgrade and then have to upgrade again.
No.
DDR4 = 284-pin
DDR3 = 240-pin
Must admit, I've not really read much about it. Worth waiting for?
I would also say that the processor architecture have to be designed around DDR4 and as the haswell architecture isn't, it would surprise me if it came with Haswell-E
Should bring incredible performance though judging by that crucial page!
Twice the speed, twice the density!
