I think this first batch of memory will be like the DDR2 to DDR3 transition... the DDR2 have better performance due the high clocks and low latencies... over the time the DDR4 will kick the asses of DDR3.

We need to wait motherboards/CPUs with support to these memories.

IB-E supports DDR4. It's mostly a processor thing, as long as the mobo supports the processor (who, in turn, supports the mem type), you should be able to pick these up. Samsung's doesn't release till mid 2014, but I imagine G.Skill's will be the first and the IB-E will be the first CPU to support it!

Out of curiosity, why do you need DDR4? Fast quad channel DDR3 will saisfy every rendering need you may have for the next 5 years.

And in terms of gaming, only platform that benefits from faster RAM after 2133 is AMD, since they are memory bottlenecked.
