G.Skill Unveiling DDR4 Memory

While we have limited details regarding DDR4 memory at the moment, we do know that DDR4 Memory will be featuring have much lower power consumption over the previous design with rated voltages of 1.2 – 1.1 Volt. At the same time while aiming for lower power consumption, DDR4 memory would push the frequencies past the barrier with speeds of 4266 MHz and possibly even more knowing that current DDR3 DIMMs do around 3000 MHz. The early samples of DDR4 memory would end up around 3200 – 3466 MHz and would gradually increase over the time as more products start supporting the new memory type which include Haswell-E plus Skylake from Intel and Carrizo APU from AMD.

G.Skill would unveil their plans for their next Trident DDR4 series and more at the event

 

G.SKILL

G.SKILL International Co. Ltd., the leading high-performance memory designer and manufacturer, announced to participate this year’s Intel Developer Forum at San Francisco as part of Intel’s memory community at booth no. 165, displaying maximum DDR3 memory frequency & capacity on the new Intel Core i7 processor family for socket LGA-2011 platform, also sharing plans for future technology such as DDR4. “As this is our first time attending IDF, we are very excited to show our high performance quad channel DDR3 memory and also announce our plans for DDR4,” said Mark Yu, Technical Marketing at G.SKILL. G.Skill

In addition to DDR4 memory, G.Skill would also be showcasing their fastest clocked memory and highest capacity memory kits for the Ivy bridge-E platform from Intel which is going to launch at IDF13 on 11th September.

holy shit, 4 GHz ram? that's fucking awesome!

[Morpheus]

an APU users dream come true?

[CoolBeans]

Meh, but I need a minimum of 4466MHZ at 1.0V

[TechFan@ic]

I can think of a thing or two I could do with 4Ghz RAM.

[Midnight]

Sounds awesome

For gaming that RAM speed wont matter that much

[Inkz]

And I am still debating to get Haswell, DDR4 sounds great though. My A8 3850 is an unbelievable bottleneck to my 7970.

I don't think so, DDR4 should support it

[M-ursu]

Maybe, but still it is like 5 years far away.

I can wait

[Ineko]

Great news for APU users.

 

However, I can imagine it being expensive as all hell.

[GM_Peka]

Anyone got any speculations to what the CAS latency will be?

[Recon-UK]

Oh fock my eyes o.0

[Glenwing]

CAS Latency will be the same as it always is, should be about double what you'd find with DDR3 2133.  The actual latency time for DRAM does not really change from one generation to the next, but since CAS Latency is measured in RAM cycles (how many cycles pass before the RAM responds to a CPU requests), if it is clocked twice as fast and completes twice as many cycles in a given amount of time, twice as many cycles will pass before the RAM responds to the CPU, so the CAS Latency "doubles".  Like I said though, the actual time it takes in nanoseconds remains the same.

[Glenwing]

To be honest I don't really care about DDR4... Never once have I been in a situation when I was using my computer and I said "Gee, I wish my RAM was faster, it's really slowing me down".  Not even with DDR2... Lower voltage is cool for phones I guess but I have a feeling most manufacturers won't exactly jump on it... a lot of phones are using DDR2 still, even flagship ones like the HTC One.

[Nicktrance]

Like Glenwig said, it probably won't matter much, especially for gamers with discreet graphics cards. I do think it would greatly benefit APU users though.

I agree, my bro and my 2 friends have older PC-s with DDR2 and the only thing holding them back really is the GPU and for my bro the CPU as well, but since they all have dual channel there is a huge difference vs my DDR3 configuration, and since today not a lot of applications need fast ram, but usually they need more capacity, if they made affordable 16gig dimms for DDR3 i would go berserk, using ramdisk for cache and potentially other stuff is amazing!!

[Glenwing]

That being said, I'm interested in what kind of performance benefits the next GDDR variant based on DDR4 (12016MHz?) might give us.

When volta comes, GDDR speeds wont matter anymore  

[colonel_mortis]

One exciting thing about DDR4 appears to be that it comes in much higher capacities though - another thread on the forum talking about samsung's DDR4 memory mentions 32GB modules at launch, which is insane! (4GB chips)

People need to learnt he difference between bits and bytes... Does my head in! Haha.
