Meaning you have to buy a new motherboard, and CPU to take advantage of the said technology which will be probably available upon the release of the next-gen chipsets and micro-processors. In addition, no current motherboard and CPU in the market supports DDR4.
Optimized for PtP (point-to-point) applicationsĪdditional control mode supports OTF value changeĮase of ODT control, allows non-ODT routing on PtP applications Feature/Optionīetter enablement for large-capacity memory subsystems That said, you’re left with little headroom for upgrade, as you’re bound with a maximum of 32GB for Dual Channel configuration for example. In layman’s term, DDR4 will only operate at Single Channel with 1 stick, Dual Channel with 2 sticks, and will only operate at Quad Channel with 4 sticks respectively. You see, DDR3 uses Multi-Drop BUS topology, while the next-gen DDR4 will utilize Point-to-Point topology. The future of memory technology with DDR4 is looking great, but there are caveats. Theoretically, DDR4 is going to be much faster compared to DDR3, but will introduce higher latency compared to DDR3. Speed is rated at 2133Mhz, and is effectively twice as fast compared to the DDR3’s 1000Mhz standards. Capacity is a huge leap too at 16GB/stick, compared to DDR3’s 8GB/stick, thanks to DDR4’s higher density modules. Low voltage standards are around 1.05v, which is great for mobile devices.
DDR4 DRAM memory technology is set to replace DDR3 soon later this year, but what is DDR4 exactly, and what are the advantages of such technology compared to the DDR3? Well then, let’s take a brief look at DDR4, along the advantages that it promises to the table, with the help of a nice infographic from our friends at Crucial Memory.ĮFFICIENT, FASTER, & HIGHER CAPACITY MODULES:Ĭompared to DDR3, the DDR4 technology features a lower power consumption 1.2v in order to operate at its standard frequency.
