Samsung Urges Intel to Launch DDR4 Systems Ahead of Schedule
With over-production, swelling-inventories, and cutthroat competition that doesn't allow even subtle price-increases, DDR3 is a lost-cause for DRAM makers such as Samsung. It is hence hedging its bets on the early arrival of DDR4, and the only company that can make that happen is Intel. Samsung is not only a major supplier of DRAM memory, but also a big player in server memory. It had its first DDR4 UDIMM ready as early as in January 2011. Reports of Intel slating DDR4-equipped platforms in 2013 has Samsung perturbed. Samsung and Hynix are the only two DRAM majors with developed DDR4 products. According to DigiTimes' analysis, DRAM vendors see DDR4 as the only way they can pull themselves out of their ailing situation.

Intel wants 5mm thick hard drives for their 'ultrabooks'
SAMSUNG wants DDR4 despite them not actually owning a hard drive department anymore (curse you seagate!)
with how much power IB CPUs and DDR4 draw, this can only be seen as a perfect match for ultrabooks/ultraportables.
Friend bought a Samsung F4 2TB for $169 two months ago.
I bought one for $149 one month ago.
Now you can get them for $129.
At next drop, hopefully to $109 or lower, I'll probably be ready to grab 6.
click on the pic.....see for yourself
Things might be different in the high-end server market, to be fair. Llano has shown that faster memory can really come in handy where more powerful intergrated graphics are in play, too.
It's just an illusion created by your mind trying to fill in the missing detail.
Im with you dude, im still rockin 4gb of ddr2 @ 800mhz :laugh:
though in all honesty only intel are likely to have An Imc on chip upto it
