Corsair Dominator DDR4 Memory Now on Pre-order
Corsair Dominator DDR4 Memory is now on Pre-order. Prepared like a coiled spring ready for X99. The memory is ready to order with already a few modules in stock ready to buy at OCuK.
Voltage
Voltage will start at 1.20v, I suspect we might see overclocked modules available which need 1.25-1.30v but time will tell. But as the technology matures we shall see 1.10v low voltage parts and even 1.05v ultra low voltage parts. So the power savings are considerable over DDR3, longer lifespan and less heat output.
Densities
As with DDR3 there shall be 4GB and 8GB modules. But the desktop consumer shall also see 16GB modules as well soon, something DDR3 only have available for server market. So on an X99 motherboard with 8 slots that means 128GB of memory if the motherboards BIOS can support that.
Speed/Bandwidth
This is the interesting one and potentially the most interesting for us keen overclockers, the speeds will come officially in 1600MHz, 1866MHz, 2133MHz, 2400MHz, 2666MHz, 3200MHz, 4000MHz and even maybe 4266MHz. These are official JEDEC speeds. Of course memory partners can release other speeds such as Corsair who are overclocking their parts upto 2800MHz, these are no doubt 2666MHz simply overclocked to this higher speed by Corsair themselves
Connector
288-pin DIMM for desktop and 256-pin SODIMM for notebook.
Form factors
Unbuffered ECC or none ECC, registered and load reduced, so DDR4 shall be available for all desktop, server and mobile type applications.

Hard to believe people are still buying 4gig as new. Then again, 32bit windows are still selling.

I'm more excited at the idea that we could one day have systems with 128GB of ram. It doesn't feel that long ago I was using a system with 128MB of ram.

Lookin good! Glad to see more modules on the way.
I'm still not sure if I will be jumping to x99 as I'd like to see some actual benchmarks (as I'm sure most here would as well) but great to see DDR4 coming up here.
I'm with you mate

I definitely want to see some convincing numbers before I commit.
