It will be an improvement. The source(s) hint at it. Besides, I never see anything wrong with grabbing more power than you need, as if it makes one happy, go with it. It will be there when you need it, and trust me, if you push your systems like I push mine, you can never have too much.

There are many articles posted on various different showcasing memory performance differences. For example this one - http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/memory-performance-16gb-ddr31333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskill/14
Difference between 2133 mhz and 2400 mhz in gaming on an ivy bridge i7 tends to be about 1-2% if any. Difference between 1600 and 2133 is 5-15%...One is a worthwhile investment while other is a diminishing return.
Rendering comparison is even worse as there is absolutely no difference in cinebench performance between 2133 and 2400.
And for the record, every system I've had I've overclocked, some quite massively with tripple rad watercooling... If there was performance to be gained by getting faster CPU RAM, I am all for it...but on an Intel platform there really isnt. If they give DDR4 support to AMD FX or APU series boards...or even figure out how to keep them stable with 2800+ DDR3 RAM...then you will see some nice performance benefits.
My guess is that this DDR4 push is strictly for the purpose of making larget ram sticks running at lower voltages...aka rendering farms and server usage.

As of today, you'll see little gain with DDR4 vs DRR3, but then, I don't build for right now. I've only ever upgraded the way I do recently.

You've seen the expected IB-E benchamrks, and you know know what to expect...DDR4 will not benefit it.
Are you saying that you will get DDR4 RAM now and then re-use it in 3 years when Intel releases the next high end platform and you decide to build another machine?
