DDR4?

[Guest]

So is Haswell E or Broadwell going to have DDR4? Also what advantages does DDR4 have?

not a lot, on paper it kills ddr3 big time, but just like the jump from ddr2 to ddr3 its not worth it yet, the prices are crazy and barely any games will make use of the performance increase that it gives, i say give it about 1.5-2years before its reasonable.

DDR4 will definitely benefit APUs and servers. Not much benefit for average consumers or gamers for now, which is the vast majority.

You'll see when it comes out, we can't tell the future.

 

 

Apparently 10-20% performance improvement depending on the application.

Yes, they are expected to use DDR 4 RAM. As usual, it will bring higher capacity and faster dimms. In real world terms, DDR3 will be just fine for most people for a while.

Like every time it will use less Voltage, be denser (capacity) and be faster. And yes it seems like Haswell-E/X99 is going to use DDR4.

Haswell= 100% confirmed DDR4 use (sadly)

 

Broadwell= nothing is confirmed

First time my Frend @Cacao answers a DDR4/x99 Haswell-e thread!

 

greeting from Sweden!

All I have to say is that your profile picture is amazing...

SB-E and IVY-E goes outta the windows, Haswell-e Joins the game!

 

Btw i made the GIF myself:D

lol that's a good one, not sure I've seen it You made like 50 of those topics between June and September.

 

What about this? http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/50443-congrats-to-cacao-on-the-addition-to-his-family/

More ram on the module. More ram in the machine. Will be awesome for non gaming. 

 

Speed? Look at latency and speed. It starts at 2133. The only latency I have seen listed so far is CL 15...which sucks. It will perform just like a DDR3 2133 CL15 kit. Poorly in games. It will however use less energy. That was a ECC kit for workstations and latency tends to be higher for those kits. So maybe we will get like CL 11 2133 at first? That is slower than my 50 dollar G.Skill 1600 that I OC'd.

 

Look at where DDR3 started and look where it ended up. Same thing is going to happen with DDR4 probably. Awesome years from now. Meh now, unless you need a ton of ram on a computer, and then it is awesome. Haswell-E I would be more excited about 8 cores/16 threads and it would be non gaming stuff on a machine where you got bank and want to work and play on the same machine.

 

2133 isn't really impressive until you get it to like CL9 and even then it isn't night and day. Will die shrinks hurt top clocks like they did with CPU's, give us more heat? All this is unknown. Add to that? Who knows when decent latency speeds will be available. I would guess they would push the ECC stuff first as yields, since people with non gaming uses are going to be doing cartwheels for this stuff.
