We all know the new DDR4 RAM is going to be an awesome new upgrade but when can we expect it to trickle down from the enthusiast to the more money-conscious gamer? X99 motherboards will be out soon for the Intel 2011 socket but when are we going to see stuff for the 1150 socket (or next gen equivalent)? It's coming to that time in my PC cycle that I'm going to start looking at upgrade parts next year so it would be good to get some more details on this!
 
Wow. That seems like an awfully long time! So DDR3 would still be good for at least 2015? I might just get some extra RAM now and wait for 2016. Currently on 8GB but more would be good for video editing that I do.

Was that a similar sort of time scale for DDR3 when it came out for enthusiasts? I don't remember... The years seem to fly by!
 
Yeah I think I was pretty much asking more about the chipset than the memory thinking about it now. Think there might be some more main stream 1150 socket chipsets supporting DDR4 in the next year?
