will ddr4 with skylake make ddr3 and Haswell obsolete?

[Analog]

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

 

The only difference I see is the massive read and write speeds in benchmarks. 

 

On topic:

No DDR3 is not going away any time soon, not until Skylake is a couple of generations old. Just look at how much time it took for DDR3 to become the mainstream standard over DDR2.

Ya ddr2 stuck around for quite a bit of time

Nope! DDR4 is overrated and Haswell is still (and will still be) dope as fuck

 

@Scouten your cat is cool

Skylake will be here By September 

 

 

whoops, I guess I get corrected on my other post 

its skylake that has the 95w tdp for unlocked not broadwell

But intel is trying to reduce power consumption and these skylake parts seem to do the opposite

Current i7s consume 88 but 2 gens later it goes up to 95?

it was speculated that hard OC is still difficult in the low power areas...i guess they just went back into 95 for the unlocked cpus, and 65 for the locked..

 

im also wishing for the 65w tdp broadwell to be a good OCer, hope there's a 5790K

So if you want to overclock you can't get benefits of low power consumption?

power consumption isn't really an issue for OCers..but for me it is.lol

i'll have to wait for the review on unlocked broadwell

 

edit: it will help me decide on my next purchase within two years..

Same here I pay for the bills so yeah power consumption matters and my PC on time is a lot more than average (around 12 hours a day coz I do some 3D work)

i guess it's just the 65w range for what we can see now..we don't have any crystal balls if cannonlake will stick with the usual range for unlocked chips..

 

try to check reviews too, they say difference is just about 5$ on the yearly bill. not sure on what you'll see, though..
