AMD processors will offer mass support for DDR4 in next year, even though the hardware is already incorporated this possibility in processors Carrizo for Notebook. Processors Intel Skylake, which involve the use of DDR4 memory type in systems of average price level will be presented in early August. In addition, the processors Haswell-E has long been used quad memory type DDR4.
Samsung is taking decisive action to reduce contract prices for memory chips such as DDR4. The Korean manufacturer hopes that a wave of interest to processors with support for DDR4 affordable prices will enable it to increase its market share.
Interestingly, the chip manufacturers such as DDR4 in no hurry to transfer its power to the 20-nm process, as it requires additional capital costs for retooling. Secondly, not all the transition to 20-nm process went smoothly. The sources said that the demand for server solutions is reduced, and this prevents memory manufacturers to make products in the appropriate profile. However, prices for DDR4 chips must get close to the price of DDR3 quickly enough by the standards of the industry.
