According to Intel company , in 2014 DDR4 will be the main type of DRAM memory, and by 2015, this memory will almost completely replace currently used memory DDR3.
In addition, Intel believe that the share of DRAM for mobile devices in the coming years will continue to grow (in terms of volume) due to the growing demand for tablets and smartphones.
Manufacturers will offer introductory samples DDR4 modules this year. According to Intel, DDR4 consumes 35% less energy than DDR3L, and for greater memory bandwidth of previous generation by 50%.
The main difference lies in the DDR4 doubled to 16 the number of banks that will double the transmission speed - up to 3.2 Gb / s. DDR4 memory bandwidth up to 34.1 GB / s (in the case of the maximum effective frequency of 4266 MH). In addition, increased reliability through the introduction of a mechanism of parity on the bus addresses and commands.
As predicted by IHS iSuppli, the market share of DDR4 DRAM in 2014 will be 23%, in 2015 - 45%.
