Read more.Has faster RAM's day come?
To answer the tagline - no.
DDR4 doesn't have any sort of real world advantage over DDR3, and even the numbers game don't show much improvement.
If you have thousands upon thousands of sticks in a massive cluster, then yeah it makes sense, but anything less than 100 sticks, and certainly not desktop usage, will really make a worthwhile imrprovement

What a surprise /sarcasm
Outside of APUs, when was the last time we saw a noticeable increase from faster RAM?
As someone who has been buying RAM since the "120ns 30-pin SIMM" days, I cannot remember RAM speed making a significant difference...

RAM=speed
DDR4= money
I think price is just not apreciable but preformance may do
As a FEM user, I'd rather have higher capacity than speed DDR4 manufacturers don't appear to have explored this yet.
Is quad channel ram for i7-4790K and X99 systems going to make a noticeable difference in performance over dual channel?
What 64 GB isnt enough ????
