Intel has talked about plans to transfer the processor to memory usage type DDR4. The prototype of a thin hybrid based Core M (Broadwell), for example is still equipped with memory type LPDDR3.
In the mobile segment compatible with DDR3 and its variants remain the norm for the near future Intel processors. The same can be said for desktop processors and highly integrated processors and mass segment, which now form a series of Core ix-4000. The rapid spread of DDR4 will prevent the higher price: Now, according to Intel, the memory modules of this type is 30% more expensive than on volume memory type DDR3. By year end, the difference will be reduced to 25%, in the following, it is reduced to 10%, and only in 2016 it will be possible to talk about the alignment of prices for DDR4 and DDR3, as well as a subsequent reduction of the cost of a more progressive memory type .
Client systems DDR4 will appear in 2015. Interestingly, the colleagues from the site CPU World drew attention to the existence of a series processors Xeon E5-2600 v3, able to work with DDR3 memory instead of DDR4. Moreover, for these processors from ASRock and Gigabyte has released the corresponding motherboard on which connector LGA 2011-3 adjacent to the DIMM slots for memory modules DDR3.
Obviously, Intel realizes that the high price will limit the spread of DDR4 at first, and therefore offers a more affordable alternative Related Products :
