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.

The vengence pro memory will fit under the D-15 just fine.

Specification:-
- 2800MHz (PC4-23000)
- CAS Timings: 16-18-18-36
- Voltage: 1.20v
400 pound for a 4x4 16gb set. This is the faster one @2800. There's a 2666 set also.
Specification:-
- 2666MHz (PC4-21300)
- CAS Timings: 15-17-17-35
- Voltage: 1.20v
@320 pound
I'd wait for the versions later on in the line tbh.
I don't like 4x4 either. I'd rather just two sticks because 4 means more parts that can go wrong. Probably get 4000+ in about 6 months and prices will drop hopefully soon.

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.
