Skylake brings DDR4 into the mainstream. Orestis Bastounis investigates
New memory standards are launched far less frequently than new microprocessors, graphics cards or chipsets, so the use of DDR4 with 100-series chipsets and the Skylake platform is a milestone, being the first time a consumer chipset has used this type of memory. DDR3 has been around since 2007, where support for it debuted with Intel’s P35 chipset. With speeds ranging from 1333MHz up to over 2000MHz, the standard was a faster, more efficient evolution from DDR2 rather than a brand-new technology. SDRAM itself has been around for decades, with only relatively minor tweaks along the way.
