On a side note, how will old games perform with DDR4? i.e. where they programmed in a way to work with DDR3 architecture or ram type doesn't really matter too much?

This is a very complicated question.

What platform?

Intel i7 high end? No performance difference what so ever... Even new game you won't see performance difference with a human eye for at least 5 years.

AMD A10 APU? You will see substantial performance increase in old or new games. APU uses CPU ram for the GPU hence the faster the RAM, the faster the GPU can work.

Also Intels HD4000 and other integrated graphics will benefit DDR4 for gaming.
