DDR3 Vs DDR4 Memory

[Spencer1559]

Hello,

 

        I was wondering if i should get a DDR3 or a DDR4 motherboard. What is the difference between them.

Thanks.

ddr4 for "future proofing"
but you wont notice much of a different between the two (at least right now, may change in the future)

DDR4 is faster than DDR3, so performance is boosted a little.

 

 

It really depends on what your build is meant for.

I completely disagree

 

 

DDR4 only has faster RAM timings but that makes little to no difference in gaming

 

 

 

OP save money and get DDR3, DDR4 does not have its use for now.

You will regret getting DDR4

I disagree with you, now.

As posted above, this shows the difference.

DDR4 is lower power and higher frequency, however it also has a higher CAS latency.

That was with DDR3. If it was DDR4, you'd need a DDR4 compatible motherboard and CPU.

 

Therefore, you cannot use the thread as an argument as it is invalid.

ddr3 is cheaper, but ddr4 is "future proof"

Basically you wont notice a difference in DDR3 and DDR4 aside from Price and Compatibility. The main issue here is whether you are building a New Pc and on a tighter budget or in a much higher budget. To make it simple, tight budget? ddr3 and haswell , higher budget, skylake and ddr4. Thats GPU aside btw

DDR4 has more latency for MHz vs MHz it is actually slower unless its quad-channel or so!
