DDR4 prices shown on Scan.co.uk

Saw this on Scan.co.uk. Not sure how true this is to the price it will sell at but it looks like this could be the price.

£239.33 for a 16gb kit (4x4gb) (2666 MHz)

Wow pretty pricey, though not insane  I suppose, it will drop FAST as it comes more popular

[AlwaysFSX]

Cheaper than the pre-release prices in the US.

[Firearm2112]

Linus held up that box during the last wan show so they will probably review it soon. DDR4, just like DDR3 will be very expensive early on. No point in buying it right now

[Excon]

Over twice as much not counting hardware cost differences between regions

[Bogica]

Yeah, they said it's going to be 60-70% more expensive than DDR3 in the WAN show.

I just looked into buying 2x4gb DDR3 and noticed that the prices doubled than what they were 2 years ago. WTF?
Anyway, once it becomes mainstream, DDR4 will drop to a little more than DDR3 prices, and after a while it's going to be even cheaper than DDR3 (Remember that DDR2 ended up being more expensive than DDR3)

[Karumu]

A bit expensive... but at least some good latencies...

wait 15-17-17-35 is good now? honestly i would prefer at least 13, but for early ddr4 stuff i guess it isnt TOO bad

I have a 6 month rule on all technology.  It let's them come up with updates and get all the inevitable bugs worked out and the prices usually come down a bit in that time.  When it comes to DDR4 boards/memory I won't be touching that for at least a year, 2016 at the earliest.  I mean I play PC games, and they just don't utilize the bleeding edge of that tech, it's all about the graphics card.  

Although I was looking at the specs of a game coming out soon, the title I'm not sure on as I was browsing a bunch of them, they recommended an i7 with hyperthreading, so apparently gamers can't rely on the current i5's for gaming in another year or two.  But with Intel coming out with Hex and Octa-core as a standard it shouldn't be too long before they start utilizing it.  

The treadmill of technology just keeps on rolling.

hex and octa isnt a standard. its the extreme, high end. the mainstream isnt getting hex until atleast skylake imho.

[joenewbie]

It will be a standard soon was my point. *grin* They're not gonna make dual core anymore from what I understand.   I guess i3 would be quad i5 hex and i7 octa.  At least that's the lingo I'd adapt to.

nope, not in a long way man. they even said sometime ago (id say 6months) that they will stay at 4cores for mainstream for the forseeable future. which means that the soonest they plan on upgrading the cores is with a new arch, which will be skylake, possibly cannonlake.

 

and my prediction would be that the hex in the mainstream would be an i7, and you would have 2 flavours of them, 4c8t and 6c12t

[patrickjp93]

Um... CL15 2666 MHz is the same as CL9 1600 MHz... just compare with JEDEC standards -.-

CL 9 1600 is good?! That's my maximum latency in that speed category.

Hmm, but what would they do about I5s? Would 6C6T be the low end or would 4C8T be?!

[LukaP]

Hmm, but what would they do about I5s? Would 6C6T be the low end or would 4C8T be?!

probably would get 6c for the normal x670k and maybe the lowest would be a 4core. and then i3s could be a mix of 2c4t, 4c4t and maybe if they feel nice 3c6t

[Real_PhillBert]

I was actually expecting a lot worse than that. 

[razor767]

I'm sure the price will come down over time. 

[LukaP]

as I said... compare with JEDEC standards... it's good compared with other non-ECC DDR4 sticks that have been released...

exactly. its better than jedec, which is great, considering this is a fetus when it comes to technology

[kuzimins]

I can already buy crucial ddr4 at a local store. Its 47 Euros for a 4gb stick. Not so bad.

[Askew]

Wow, when I bought my 8GB of Vengeance DDR3 it was £39 for it.
