Adata Formally Announces DDR4 Memory Modules.

[Nicktrance]

Adata Technology has introduced its lineup of DDR4 memory modules designed for next generations desktops, notebooks, servers and workstations and is expecting to launch their DDR4 server solutions in the "foreseeable future".

 

They expect to demonstrate the modules at IDF 2013 with a probable release in 2014 around the time Haswell-E/EP/EX platforms are released, since they will be the first platform able to use DDR4.

depends on the usage, but why not?

APUs.

APUs.

APU's will benefit greatly from this. It's the reason why the PS4 and Xbone use DDR5 memory. Higher clocked RAM means better performance for APUs actually drastic performance. Going from 1333 RAM to 1866 on an APU is like night and day, it makes a huge difference. And i think cheap high speed low capacity DDR4 ram will really help put APUs where they need to be as the go to for entry level gaming. This along with AMD's new emphasis on APUs, might make an interesting year for AMD now all we need are FM motherboards and chips that support DDR4 : )

Just an FYI, the Xbox One uses DDR3 RAM. The same kind that is in your PC. You are right on the rest of it though.

PS4 does have GDDR5 RAM though.

DDR3 still, thats just dreadful...

Completely.

I believe it's a combination of DDR3 and esRAM as a sort of cache, XBone still seems to be at a disadvantage but we'll have to wait and see which is better when they're actually released... or we could not care...

of course we do,  if everyone went by this logic we'd still all be using single core cpu's running a DOS op.

At one point people and even companies were arguing 1KB is all the RAM we need... imagine video editing on that :lol:.

>High capacity single stick

 

So expensive as shit. Sigh.

FM2+ mobos allready out, and coming out only with ddr3. I think 2133 Cl9 is enough for APU anyway. Its about 15 bucks more and latency is not sacrificed. 2400 is not worth it. 

For low end gaming builds less than 2k is ok too.

This takes me back when DDR2 was dirt cheap and 3GB of DDR3 for the X58 platform was expensive..let alone 6GB of DDR3. I don't think DDR4 will be worth it initially, give it a year or two to become the new norm after it matures.
