When is ddr4 going to be available

probably 2015 and skylake cpu's,i thought it would be in time for broadwell 2014 but I don't think it is,it will be for ivybridge -e EDIT: haswell-e cpu's 2014 I think

Current info is that DDR4 is making it's desktop debut with Haswell-E, which won't be until at very least late 2014. For mainstream it's likely to come in for Skylake not Broadwell. Broadwell seems a bit soon would also mean a Motherboard/LGA life of 1 generation, can't really see that happening.

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.

More Haswell-E DDR4 Confirmation:

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.

According to Crucial, late 2013:

Crucial have had it for a little while now and as i've said, it's rolling out on servers first, and soon.
But desktop debut isn't likely to be until Haswell-E late 2014 at the very earliest.

Also, if you read that page and also the NOTE at the bottom, you would see that late 2013 is for full production, not implementation or use.

Would there be any support on 1150 for DDR4 with a BIOS update? Would hate to upgrade and then have to upgrade again.
 
Not worth waiting really
this is the sort of technology which will be incredibly expensive for the first few years i would have thought
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!

Haswell-E won't be the same architecture as Haswell. Same as SB-E isn't anything like SB and IB isn't the same as IB-E will be.
Different core layout, no IGP and they can design the IMC differently and incorporate DDR4.

Don't pay any attention to that page. They're showing DDR3 1000MHz vs DDR4 2133MHz.
Most people run at least 1600MHz and enthusiasts run at least 2133MHz DDR3 anyway with many running 2400MHz.
I run 2154MHz with tight timings currently 24/7. Using bclk straps i run 2333MHz.
