DDR4 Will Reach Bandwidth 3.2Gbps at 1.2V, Release In 2014


Standard DDR3 already on the market since at least 2007 and the age of his five in 2012, DDR3 has achieved significant progress in terms of speed. When first introduced, DDR3 has a speed of about DDR3-800/DRR3-1066, but now many memory chip manufacturers launch products with DDR3-2800 specification, and even above, is offered to the user PC.
According to Samsung, one for memory IC manufacturers, the trend rate will later be followed by DDR4.




As shown in the table above, DDR4 will have a bandwidth of up to 3.2Gbps (DDR4-3200). Physical form of IC DDR4 DRAM will not change much from DDR3, still using 78/96-ball BGA.








The high speed of DDR4 will be followed by the use of a lower voltage, which is 1.2V. Perhaps the power savings that occur because of decreased voltage of 1.5-1.2V 1.65V DDR3 to DDR4 is not too annoying to users desktop, but for mainframe / server / workstation that uses a lot of memory modules, of course, DDR4 will help reduce power consumption to create a computing platform more 'green'.






If nothing changes, DDR4 will be released sometime in 2014. Surely it would be interesting to see which platform will adopt this technology DDR4 soon after its release, due to the high speed DDR4 will certainly make a CPU with on-die GPU high-performance which tend to 'greedy' bandwidth, operating optimally.
