As we know the law of computer technology is that with passage of time, the hardware components becomes smaller, smarter and faster. This is true for each new generation of the hardware parts, whether it is computer motherboard, processor, hard drive, video card or main memory. Each year we witness new hardware equipment that provides better performance than their previous generation. For example, we used to have 20GB hard drive in past but now 1000GB or tera byte hard drive is of the same size or even smaller.
Transition from DDR3 to DDR4 Memory
System memory are essential for computer performance and they have special value in multi-tasking environment. DDR3 memory modules were quite fast than ddr2 but now ddr4 are two times faster and provides more capacity of dynamic RAM. Existing ddr3 memory runs on Multi-DIMM per channel bus architecture, now the transition is towards a point-to-point single DIMM per channel bus architecture in ddr4 memory. This means a gaming computer will be able to put more load on the main memory and will receive a smooth gameplay with heavy chunks of game data stored in background for realtime performance. There is another aspect of the transition, it is regarding the hardware side, since fourth generation computer memory will require compatible system hardware which includes mainly a supported motherboard and processor, so far this transition is much slower and will take much time before they are readily available to mainstream end users. Again 2015 is anticipated as the boom year for DDR4 compatible systems.
Benefits of Building DDR4 Gaming PC
The key features of ddr4 memory includes double data transfer rates, up-to 40% less power consumption, point-to-point bus architecture to run one DIMM per memory channel, early error detection and diagnostics. This will have a real impact on how games are played at the moment. With the advancement of gaming technology, we see heavy games entering the market requiring heavy gaming machines to run them without any lag. DDR4 will provide a major shift and the performance in comparison to ddr3 will be double and this will ensure a reliable gameplay for most anticipated 3d complicated games. From 2014 onward, gaming computer can have faster memory modules with larger capacity possible and will consume less power and hence generate less heat energy. All in all ddr4 memory will provide reliability and performance with easy over-clocking for better affordability and efficiency on invested hardware equipment.
Availability of DDR4 Gaming Computers
DDR4 memory technology was demonstrated earlier this year which reveal promising result for building gaming rigs. Well the launch of ddr4 and supported components has been delayed for one year and not available until 2014 but we will see major change in 2015 where ddr4 will take on the market and will dominate with more than half the market share. We will surely witness DDR4 to be most anticipated hardware components for building gaming computers in 2014 and 2015. Different companies has already started pouring in ddr4 modules in the market, Japan is among the first countries that focused heavily on providing ddr-4 ram to its consumers.
