Man, this tread is 100% tl, but I did r, most of it at least. Anyway, if you haven't seen the article yet, it seems that AMD may actually end up sticking with AM3+ for Steamroller.
AMD sticks with stocket AM3+
As far as DDR4 is concerned...it may never see the light of day with what Rambus has up their sleeves. Whatever they're going to call it, it uses current DDR3 sockets, is as fast as DDR5, and consumes less power than standard DDR3 DIMMs. If they can bring that to the market soon...there won't be any need for DDR4.
Rambus' new RAM
Maybe this is old news for some of you, but considering the points that many have been making in this thread and the mention of DDR4 and AM4, I felt that perhaps this could shed some light.
