Dimitris Tolios Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Although right now only s2011-3 platform is compatible with DDR4, I think it is the least interesting platform for those 16GB modules. How many of the existing user base was really gimped by 8*8 = 64GB that was available to X79 with DDR3 and X99 with DDR4? I really don't know who would need 128GB RAM for a single 8C CPU... The most interesting question will be whether Skylake that will offer DDR3 and DDR4 support, will be able to support 16GB Dimms. Even if you won't get 64GB support, expanding ITX/mATX etc boards with just 2x dimms to 32GB over 16GB which is the current hard ceiling is huge IMHO... EDIT: my bad, a simple google search claims Skylake will support up to 64GB or RAM, so it is almost sure it will do that with 16GB UDIMMs! ;) Edited April 29, 2015 by dtolios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
