| DDR4 Haswell-E Scaling Review: 2133 to 3200 For any user interested in performance, memory speed is an important part of the equation when it comes to building your next system. This can apply to any user, from integrated graphics throughput to gaming and prosumer environments such as finance or oil and gas. Individuals with an opinion on memory speed fall into two broad camps, from saying faster memory has no effect, to the ‘make sure you get at least XYZ’. Following on from our previous Haswell DDR3 scaling coverage, we have now secured enough memory kits to perform a thorough test of the effect of memory speed on DDR4 and Haswell-E http://www.anandtech.com/show/8959/d...ta-and-crucial

| sorry to see this happen, but memory bandwidth has not been the bottleneck for years now, our research from 2005 & 2006 with AMD and Intel showed little to no improvement in real life apps & games; in 2015 on the latest Intel platform, default DDR3 runs equally well as highly overclocked DDR4. http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/ar...th-its-price/0 we need to tackle the real bottlenecks to see performance gains, in order of importance: - storage speeds & interface with software backing (SSD is good, not nearly fast enough to remove the bottleneck, file storage systems are not optimized) - single core performance (no point in having 12 core CPUs, if single core performance is only marginally faster than previous generations) - video card (actually we're doing quite good here, on most mainstream monitors, you can max out most, if not all, AAA games with a midrange video card, granted that the gaming industry is using consoles as the measuring stick, holding the PC gaming world back on the graphical power side of things)
