Great analogy with the builder Linus! However, I think it would have been more accurate to say the Hard Drive is his tool box, and the internet is going to the truck. The tool box is there with him, but it takes a while to dig through and find the right part. The truck isn't right there, and going to the truck is kinda like going on the internet (browsing a ton of data). I understand how your way works, but I just thought I'd throw this out there.

[@BluePalmetto]

[@NoobSvCy]

I thought the lady from the thumbnail was going to explain..

[@LivelysReport]

It would have been nice to have run some bench tests between DDR3 and DDR4 with fairly comparable processors... like from the 4930k and the 5930k... so we can see how much jump there is from the old generation and now this new generation... like a cinebench..

[@Kurtownia]

As far as I know (and I don't know much), no game that exists today needs more than 8GB of RAM, so uhmm... I'll take 16GB DDR3 for Star Citizen in my new build, and not worry about it for the next 3-5 years.

[@taylorgp1234]

Yeah Star Citizen is one of the only games where 8gb of ram is recommended. Now probably within the next 5 years more games will reach that point. But im good with 12gb right now

[@KingdomOfMog1]

Watch dogs uses 14gb constantly on my pc

[@vantheman1wald]

Kaleb Ayers yeah modded minecraft was the reason i bought 16gb ram (serious answer)

[@taylorgp1234]

Yeah Battlefield 4 is a pretty big game.

[@KingdomOfMog1]

Kaleb Ayers that is true, but the game still requires it. my friend cant even fun the game with 4gb

[@Bonecrusher27WTF]

Great analogy of the different types of memory to the workman and his tools. Thanks!

[@ryansample6016]

NOTE: 512GB is equivalent to 0.5TB (terabytes), since 1TB is equivalent to 1024GB. And since the theoretical capacity of DDR4 memory is 512GB, that may mean that you can get 2TB of RAM on a general gaming motherboard in the near-future.

[@HanMew]

I dont think any gaming motherboards support more than 64 GB at the moment. Only server motherboards with the right chipset support 128GB ram modules and stuff.

[@itsDuckHunter]

Ryan Sample You aren't getting 2TB of RAM in the near-future.

[@HanMew]

We already have 4096GB Server motherboard arrays. But not we as in us. We as in databases and company servers.

[@spik330]

Ryan Sample Ahh you all missing the point GDDR4 and GDDR5 are based off of DDR3 so with DDR4 that's mean you will probably see GDDR6 some time soon.. ish... before flying cars probably. Better VRam can mean better graphics. Also complete PC rebuilds DDR4 comes with a new chip set so a new Processor new Motherboard, probably new GDDR with that a new a GPU so new graphics cards.

[@MaartenBlij]

So, the big question: If you're on the fence of building a new pc, should you wait for DDR4?

[@TheEagle2111]

Not unless you are specifically planning on getting the new ethusiast motherboard/cpu's, since it will still be some time before ddr4 will be released on consumer grade products.

[@sauron1427]

No, only get ddr4 if you bsolutely want a cpu and motherboard that supports it. The current implementations actually perform worse than high end ddr3.

[@MishMash95]

DDR4 compatible hardware is going to be bloody expensive when it comes out, we're probably talking processors upwards of $1000 and the actual ram itself will probably be something like $300-$500 per 4GB, as new technology is always expensive. We are also uncertain on when it will be out for the consumer, and even a DDR3 computer will run great. At the start, you will get much MUCH better value for money with a DDR3 based system. DDR4 is only for those who are willing to spend much more to get a little bit better (in terms of cost equivalence) to get the new and best technology. It's the same with high-end i7 processors. You can get one which is only perhaps 5% better than another, but it will be 3x the cost. (And graphics cards for that matter.)

[@ctaber2011]

Don't bother with DDR4, its going to be a few years before its implemented and cheap enough for a home user to afford.

[@patricklindsay72]

considering ram wipes every time the power to it is cut, even if your system was designed to save files to ram, it would delete every time you shut your pc off.

I'd say that the registers are the hands, the toolbelt is the cache and the ram is the hardware store on the other side of town. Which is why you should buy processors with lots of cache.

[@CLeach13]

This is actually preety good timing to roll this out, the only median that could really use this much memory will be VR and the different forms that takes.

[@dddripz]

Hi

[@friedzombie4]

For current 2014 real world applications; DDR4 is overkill but who's to say when certain applications might require 48GB of RAM :)

[@husky1993a]

I'm surprised DDR4 is going to have a theoretical capacity of 512 GB... I remember when 2 GB of DDR3 on my laptop was the cat's pajamas...

[@levi799]

Jonathan Alvarez There are video games with the size of 30GB. Having 512GB of memory would probably allow whole programs to be on RAM, even the big games. Making them work really fast. Right now you only add portions of a game to the RAM, that's why SSD's are so important right now, because many programs are still being accessed from the drives to the RAM and so on. So if you could start a game and the game gets uploaded to the RAM you would probably never have a "loading" screen because it would be pretty much instantaneous. Of course it would still take the initial time to load it to the RAM which would be capped by the speed of the drive, preferably an SSD. This is all a small theory though. I don't think we will see this on DDR4 though.

[@husky1993a]

Voyd Void Probably not, but DDR4 does look enticing for my next build in a few years :)

[@UndercoverArgonian]

Right now it's more of a prototype. It exists and works, but has no practical use at the current time. I do agree that DDR4 isn't necessary, especially because of the current capabilities of DDR3. Eventually the rest of the hardware is going to catch up and it's going to see good use. Think of USB 3.0. There was a time when it couldn't be used for much, simply because there wasn't much out there that supported it. USB 3.0 however was different because USB 2.0 was an all ready outdated technology, and it needed to catch up to match the speeds everything else around it had.

[@str0ntium90]

Sinister Steel It doesn't generally work like that. Just as DDR3 is the only type of memory in use by the memory controllers in contemporary consumer chipsets, sooner or later the same will happen with DDR4. Its either not an option, or your ONLY option, depending on your motherboard.

[@Kireddo]

I LOVE this Teckquikie. I know most stuff already but the new things like DDR4 and upcoming new hardware. Good stuff man, good stuff.

[@OnionRingsGaming]

Must not be that fast, cus its the last part of my build to ship... get it? no...? Ok :(

[@TheLethalDomain]

I would use the analogy that L1 cache is the hands, L3 is the belt, and RAM is the toolbox, while mass storage is the store down the road, which can be faster to access as the RPM of the motor in the car increases, and even faster with a car of a greater architecture. ;) I know, I made it way overkill.

[@DanielLecoqRooster]

So I can just replace my SSD and HDD with RAM sticks?

[@nathanhamers9160]

[@zeromailss]

Daniel Lecoq I was thingking more or less the same thing,I mean if ram can get that big,maybe in the future oyu wont need a HDD and just store your data in ram so that it can be processed right away,well maybe they will combine ram and HDD in the future which have the characteristic of both god point,who knows

No such thing as DDR5 but there is something called GDDR5 which is the memory used in gpu's and is based on DDR3. Search GDDR5 on wikipedia, you'll find out everything you need to know about it.

[@ARSP33LS]

Linus has a video on the differences, and they are quite different.

I would like a video on the differences between the different methods of AA (SSAA, MSAA, CSAA, EQAA , 2-16, Q etc). While this might not fit into a techquicky, it would be nice to have a video regarding the advantages/disadvantages of the different settings as well as rough recommended guidelines.

[@unacomn]

APUs are going to murder the low end market when DDR4 comes out. It'll be like a wasteland of Intel Celeron and Pentium SKUs and Nvidia x30 and x40, alone unwanted, unneeded.

[@Anchoret89]

depends on the price though :/

[@HomeSkillenSLICE]

I definitely agree but ive been watching promotional videos of crucials ddr4 ram and that it only has its bandwidth increased by 50%. Does that mean that the frame rate will only be 50% more? Not to say that 50% isnt a lot but I wonder if it'll be enough for the APUs to evolve throughout the next 5 years or so. Plus if the memory is as fast as GDDR5 then the question I guess is irrelevant but still.

[@10mbc]

iamterence77 I can get about 100 MB/s from my gigabit fiber and my (not really modern 1 TB HDD) does about 85 MB/s. I could get a new HDD but there is really no use for it because I have a 250 GB Samsung SSD for the main drive.

You have some great points, especially for those new to technology. 3200MHz stock is not an oranges to oranges comparison to DDR3, because of slower DDR4 timings [CAS, etc.], note that this is in reference to only your "speed" remark. DDR4 is not the only beneficiary of die shrinks, 64GB USB "flash" drives smaller than a thumb nail.

2:17 is : ddr4 is designed particularly to improve performance on multi-core systems Amd Fx series processors were relased from 2011 to 2013 and they use am3+ socket. There are no am3+ motherboards with ddr4 memory support so amd fx cpus don't support ddr4
