Race track Memory

Anyone heard of it.Do you think its better then conventional ram or future ddr5 ram which will replace ddr3. Another question is do you think ddr4 will be overlooked as even consoles are going ddr5 before ddr4 which is quite crazy and im sure pcs will soon follow

The PS4 is going GDDR5, Not DDR5.

 

Completely different things

I think gddr5 is modified ddr3 ram for graphic cards where timings don't matter as much and frequency matters the most

Gddr5 can do more processes at once however they are all done slightly slower, overall i think that might be better.

GDDR5 = speed  / 4 = real speed

example 6000Mhz / 4 = 1500 effective

DDR3 = speed / 2 = real speed

example 2400Mhz / 2 = 1200 effective

 

hope this helps you

The future, it uses tape or something like that but its said to reach 500ghz clocks or some crap like that and the ability to store thousands of terabytes in a few milimetres of tape. Its still in blue print phases and i think this is army technology that wouldnt be unleashed to us because the companies dont want technology development to happen too fast.

Im just curious about this sort of technology and it seems interesting. Maybe if more people talk about it then big companies will take note and give it 10-15 years and we could see it on the market.
