Nope. I have DDR4 in my X99 rig an there is little difference. Also, my DDR4 is 2800mhz whereas my DDR3 is only 2666mhz.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

Will ddr4 improve gaming performance by a huge margin?

maybe Intel has an evil underground lair where they work with devs to make skylake waaaay better in games than everyone else

DDR4 is just low power right now. 2600 speeds with 1.20v

No, and skylake is not for another year and a half anyways. The next chip out is Broadwell

Not in any way. It isnt even much faster than ddr3, there are 3200MHz DDR3 ram sticks and the highest ive seen with ddr4 is 3333

So Haswell will not show its age till even skylake becomes a generation old?

 

Depends on how good Skylake is. Intel is throwing around numbers like 20% better IPC

Brolis, it's RGB not RBG ;)

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

That's a big number compared to what improvement they are showing currently from one gen to other

Whoa 10 cores and 20 threads on an i7 could smash half of the xeons!

power consumption and maybe they might remove the PCIe lane restriction on their lower end chip (doubtful)

Intel might surprise us and give us an 8 core 6930K with broadwell E but who knows.

If they do it what will happen to their mid tier chip?

So could the 6960x could be 10 cores?!

Personally i'd love this

 

6960X - 10 Cores, 20 HT's - 999.99

6930K - 8 Cores, 16 HT's - 699.99 

6820K - 8 Cores, 8 Threads - 399.99

 

That would leave the door open with Skylake mainstream to have 6 cores and 12 HT's for the 6770K

Love this idea

Intel should do this

then they would have to change their name to AMD lol all cores and no game :P

 

that would make me spend the extra 400$ to buy the 930k as the hyper threading would be of use to me
