DDR4 RAM To Hit Devices Next Year

angry tapir writes "Micron has 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. DDR4 is more power-efficient and faster than DDR3. New forms of DDR memory first make it into servers and desktops, and then into laptops. Micron said it hopes that DDR4 memory will also reach portable devices like tablets, which currently use forms of low-power DDR3 and DDR2 memory."

Would have gotten a FP except

... I'm still stuck on good ole DDR2

Realistically, while there are benefits for "faster", it's no substitute for reducing inefficient bloatware.

Great

I predict a 33% performance increase going from DDR3 to DDR4 based on my own super-secret analysis of the press release.

You can all thank me for this

I just bought a new computer with DDR3 in it yesterday.
