Intel is not going to write off the standard DDR3 memory. The Company believes that the spread of DDR4 memory type will be constrained by the higher cost of the respective units, and only in 2016 after the price equalization DDR4 memory will be able to start a large-scale expansion.
Interestingly, the memory controllers in the processor Haswell-E have the support of both RAM DDR3, and memory DDR4, but Intel has artificially limited the capabilities of their decisions (at least in the case of the platform X99). Meanwhile, the future of desktop processors belonging to the category of the main demand, Intel allows the use of both types of memory, which is clearly reflected in the company's development plans.
In the past, the difficulties of the transition period helped to overcome the motherboard, equipped with connectors for the two types of RAM modules. As the site Expreview says, this time Intel is offering to act differently and with the support of Kingston and Micron initiates called UniDIMM, which is a universal socket, which can be installed as standard modules DDR3, and DDR4.
It is worth noting that UniDIMM implies other physical execution of memory that does not have compatibility with any of the standards. . Last modification will increase the cost of motherboard for about $ 0.50.
Study the appearance of the The initiative will be implemented together with the processors generation Skylake, the output of which is expected at the end of next year. Related Products :
