While major memory vendors have started producing next-generation DDR4 memory, don't expect to see it in servers until late next year, and it won't appear in PCs and tablets for about 18 months.
Until Intel and AMD begin supporting DDR4 in their processor boards, users won't be able to enjoy the benefits (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9227097/New_DDR4_memory_to_boost_tablet_server_performance ) of the technology, which offer twice the performance, twice the base capacity (16GB) and 20 percent to 40 percent less power consumption than today's technology, according to industry analysts.
Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron are already producing DDR4 (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2047793/samsung-starts-mass-production-of-ddr4-memories.html?tk=rel_news) memory boards.
Both Intel and AMD have confirmed to Computerworld that each expects to begin supporting DDR4 memory on processor boards next year.
