ddr4

[jmcphe01]

I was just wondering when ddr4 comes out and will there be new z97 boards to support it or will there be a whole new chipset

Z97+DDR4 = Nope

 

Release date, Around september

It will require a new CPU, not a new chipset. Intel (and AMD as far as I know) put the memory controller on the CPU some time ago (When the I series was released, and probably AM2 socket for AMD). Highly unlikely that INtel or AMD will release current gen boards on DDR4, as it is not needed and will be quite expensive (much the same way as DDR3 when released) .

who really knows, it will probably be late 2014 at the earliest, but more like the summer of 2015.

 

and yes of course there will be new mobos with new chipsets, or else how would the ram fit in and work properly?

 

and a word of advice, makeing the title longer will get more peoples attention

DDR4 wont be that big of a change, yay 16 gigs on 1 PCB, faster MHz but slower timings (i think, havent really searched on DDR4)

So a whole new chipset then

Also unless you are doing some major video editing and multi media work, why would you need DDR4, considering it will be VERY expensive when it comes out, you will also need a new mother board and cpu. But yes some time later this year, or early next year.

i imagen a DDR4 slingle 16gb Dimm will be like ~$250+ on release

So a whole new chipset then

X99 will be the first chipset to use DDR4. It will also get released around september.

I would not adopt DDR4 until it becomes more of a standard.

As several people have mentioned, DDR4 doesn't really matter before a couple of years in the future, when i has become the standard
