Faster ram

[truegenius]

when we can have these faster ram in market to buy
1. DDR4
2. DDR5 OR GDDR5
3. XD2 (or whatever it is)

Not for a while, since it is unnecessary. We aren't maxing current DDR3 speeds.

Sandy Bridge (2nd gen i-series) "sweet spot" 1600MHz

Sandy Bridge Extended (i7-3xxx) "Sweep Spot" 1866MHz.

Current RAM speeds > 2400MHz.

Even if faster RAM was available it would be pretty much pointless as you will get next to no benefit.

amd llano can use that 2400mhz (2500 downclock to 2400) ram, and these apu loves faster ram, and are good for low budget and medium gaming

can you tell me in years when we can have these ram in market to buy (market share is not needed).

Not true. The viable ceiling on an APU is 1866MHz.

DDR3 bandwidth has not even been close to satisfied. It will continue to be mainstream for quite some time longer. My guess 18months atleast till the next gen RAM releases. By that time AMD APUs will have change considerably and the situation may have changed considerably.

GDDR5 only refers graphics memory, thus the "G".

i mean 2400(oc)

Still doesn't make it viable.

The gains are inconsistent and not enough to validate the extreme price.

DDR4 Memory Now Projected to Debut in 2014,
DDR3 to Remain Leading DRAM Tech Till at 2014, started at 2011
DDR5 so maybe 2017, ...
