At CES kingston showed off 384GB of DDR4 Ram in there super secret intel server.

 

 

 

In order to recieve clearance for this demo, Kingston had to black out key areas of the chassis, which means essentially everything other than the heat sinks and DDR4 sticks. We speculate this is Grantley-EP and Wellsburg PCH. If so, the server supports Thunderbolt and features DDR4 speeds of 2400 and 3200MHz. However, these specs are pure conjecture.

 

 

Could this mean super high amounts of ram and break neck speeds?!? We will have to wait and find out

If using Windows 7 Ultimate (or Enterprise?) it caps @ 192 GB, the other half (another 192) would be useless, and consumer motherboards don't take that much yet, still that's like 1% (or less) of the entire 64 bit that can be used.

It was in a server. Not a consumer grade PC that would run Windows 7.

windows 8 versions allow 512gb just not the standard win 8 which only allows 192

Enterprise server OSes like Windows Server 2012 goes into the multi-Terabyte range for memory limitations.

what's the point of 384 gb of ram? Even for a server. 

Servers hosting VMs can use huge amounts of memory. We have one at work using about 120 GB of memory, and it's an old machine that we're upgrading soon. But websites that drive lots of traffic need lots of RAM to service all the users.

This is really exciting for enterprise server companies, much less so for us.

Just imagine how much Apple's going to charge their users. 48x the ram of last generation, only $20k (verses the $1k current generation, that's only a 20x increase (good deal)!)

True, that. As long as the network backbone is large enough and there are enough CPU/Storage resources available to handle additional players.

this isn't made for windows. No one in their right mind will put 384gbs of ram, even if they could, for a windows server. Linux is where its as for something like this.
