Haswell supporting DDR4 by 2014

http://www.extremetech.com/computing/158824-haswell-e-to-offer-ddr4-support-up-to-eight-cores-in-2014


With Haswell-E being then next Intel high end platform... I think everyone expected this. Otherwise why bother upgrading from LGA2011? Those things still destroy anything you throw at them...

Indeed. Will pair nicely with the Maxwell GPU series!

I want to see something utilize this. If you look at benchmarks for games, RAM speed tops out at 1866 mhz when it comes to performance benefits. 

PCIe 3.0 isn't even close to being maxed out. I personally tested 7950 crossfire in X16, X4 PCIe 2.0 and the performance loss is less than 5%. 

And intel is already talking about Skylake with 14 nm, PCIe 4.0, DDR4, etc...SATA IV (probably)
