wow, that is some fast RAM. Great for memory intensive apps.

Now that's some serious DDR4: 3333-16 has slightly better latency than 1600-8 and just over twice as much bandwidth. Those with fat wallets can now have their cake and eat it.

@InvalidError though the only computers which need that kind of bandwidth ussualy do it in such a way thta they need less speed but more bandwidth not equal or greater speed to less bandwidth thus why workstation use dual or quad channel with 1333 instead of just single or dual channel with 1866 which is starting to make a slight diffenrce in games just not enough to justify cost of it

Depends more on the ram controller than you would think. ECC memory isn't about speed, is about perfect job done well rather than speed. And this is why they should stop racing over speeds and start building up more GB into them, as a start 16GB, DDR3 ecc left us there, why go back to 4GB? Since the DDR4 can't dual channel at least start from 8GB. Renders are GB hungry.

Ahhh! Great, at-last a good timing DDR4 RAM on the scene. Thanks to myself for holding on not to buy DDR4 for now as I'm planning on X99. Will wait for some more time till more high frequency RAMs are rolled out. But what about their impact on games. I think, it hardly matters.

@Drejack oh they have been the largest DDR3 DIMMs are 32GB atm with the "Best" of them beinghttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226585&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= a 32GB DDR3 stick though only at 1066MHz CL7 but if you are more into speed then http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147385&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= at 1600MHz CL11 but in realailty they will run about the same speed becuase of the latency and speed changes
So DDR3 goes up to and includeing 32GB sticks and DDR4 is at 32GB 2133 CL15 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148897&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= and should be able to go faster with lower latency and higher density too as that was mainly just a technical signaling change to the electronic signal paths on the RAM not really how the chips are organized to make room for more chips and/or higher density chips. For higher density chips most likely we will have to wait on samsung to make a move for that or their 1 competeing company in Flash and NAND chip manufactuering.
