DDR4 to hit devices next year

Post by **Stuart** » 08 May 2012, 23:34

Micron on Monday said that DDR4 memory -- the successor to DDR3 DRAM -- will reach computers next year, and that the company has started shipping samples of the upcoming DDR memory type.

The new DDR4 memory is more power-efficient and faster than the current DDR3 memory, which is found in most new computers that ship today. DDR4 memory will shuffle data at faster rates inside computers.

Will this one take as long as DDR3 did to catch on. But then again because all cpu's have integrated memory controllers we wont have the problem that DDR3 had when it was released, I also suspect intel will release something new next year then

That competition could be a good thing for pushing DDR4 forward on desktops and laptops, as it pushes the manufacturers to drive down the cost of manufacturing the technology. But the gating factor for DDR adoption will be how quickly CPU manufacturers adopt the technology and integrate it into CPU memory controllers. Intel's latest statements indicate the company doesn't have DDR4 on the roadmap for its processors until the Xeon Haswell-EX processor—in 2014. Desktop and notebook users may have a bit longer to wait. And the timeframe for a low-power version of DDR4 for mobile devices hasn't even been set.

Ok so it will be some time before we can go out and purchase a DDR4 compatible mobo and CPU.
