Skylake's advanced memory controller makes overclocking easier, but are memory modules keeping up? We put G.Skill's DDR4-4000 through its paces.

RAM clock speeds are 1/2 the rated data rates. So, DDR4 4000 runs at 2GHz, still pretty good.This RAM is faster than our CPUs (or atleast more than 90% of us, expect the overclockers)...
WE have been getting imperceptible improvements a few years now... We are still on 4 cores, even 2 in CPUs.
So... if game devs and hardware manufacturares dont want to improve, they wont get my cash .
That's exactly what Grid2 and Battlefield 4 were.....it didn't make a tangible difference at these levels.I'd like to see an article like this actually suggest programs/games/etc that could truly take advantage of higher memory bandwidth. They might be edge cases, but who knows, maybe there's some random game we've always enjoyed and never knew that RAM speed could make said game so much better. Or some application. Either way.
