Matsuda Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 It seems that DDR4 isn’t as far away as we thought . According to Crucial Memory’s promo page it’s going to come out late 2013. There is just one month left till the years end. So that being said, we are going to have DDR4 in our PC’s hopefully by next month.Of course DDR4 has a different architecture, meaning we are going to need a different motherboard, we can’t just put them in our old DDR3 systems. But, is it worth upgrading to DDR4? Crucial Memory also provided a comparison chart with some specifications of what DDR4 will offer, just to show you the difference.The DDR4 will only eat up 1.2Volts as stated by Crucial , while having twice the speed of DDR3 Memory. DDR4 will run on a base memory speed of 2133MHz while having 4GB as their minimum density. According to the chart, we can see that DDR4 is 100% faster than DDR3, requires 20% less voltage and has 300% more density than that of DDR3.Compared to DDR3, DDR4 will have a smaller die allowing more memory per RAM and also allowing DDR4 to hold up to 16GB per module. Well, that’s massive and twice the single stick DDR3 could provide (8GB). We can’t predict the accurate date of when DDR4 will come out, but as a wild guess it may be available by the middle of next month.Crucial Memory isn’t just one of the manufacturers who are going to throw up DDR4 memory that early. Seeing the increasing competition in the market, we may see more manufacturers coming up with early releases of DDR4, forcing motherboard manufacturers to come up with compatible motherboards.Will you upgrade your system to support DDR4 ?Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 16, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm wondering how it will effect the DRR3 prices. I think they will increase after the proper DDR4 rollout.That all said, I don't think motherboard manufacturers will immediately jump on the DRR4 bandwagon. Will have to wait atleast a couple of months to get good models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anakin206 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm wondering how it will effect the DRR3 prices. I think they will increase after the proper DDR4 rollout.According to my experience so shall be.In my country the prices for DDR2 memories sometimes doubles the prices of DDR3 on same size.My plan:1- Buy a large amount of DDR3 memories...2- Wait for DDR4 to be relased...3- Wait for DDR3 prices to increase...4- ...?5- Profit!
