Intel Core i7-5960X Review with ASUS X99 Deluxe

[RamboOC]

Till then DDR4 is mainly for huge servers and heavy duty apps.

Right now DDR4 ecc server ram is very rare

Didn't say they were using them now.

i know this is review for the chip, but man, having just watched both this and the RVE review, back to back, how awesomesauce is that x99 deluxe, nothing wrong with how the RVE at all, just the x99 deluxe is incredibly sweet!

price is way outta my league, but i still want one, though i thought it should still get the gold award, aren't the equivalent Xeons about ~£1500 anyways, sounds almost like a bargain no?

thanks for the hard work Tom, two totally awesome vids helped cheer me up tonight.

DDR4 will become more of a FPS booster once game engines start going down the 64bit route and no longer using 32bit. It will allow for more ram to be used and it can be used more efficiently. Till then DDR4 is mainly for huge servers and heavy duty apps.

I'm guessing that games will start to take advantage of DDR4 when the next consoles come out i.e PS5/XB2.

Sadly I can't see them doing it before then, Games on our platform seem to follow the console releases which I'm guessing the next versions will be DDR4 etc...

Think this is getting offtopic. We will have to continue this in a different thread.. this is a review thread after all
