I'm certain they could double or even triple their prices and there would still be no shortage of us willing to pay
Yeah, I'd love a dedicated server but for now my VPS works. Need monies first.I'm certain they could double or even triple their prices and there would still be no shortage of us willing to pay
That is pretty neat. Using or listing it as a C220 class PCH is fantastic for support reasons. Should just work out of the box vs having to wait for special drivers.
I just did a very quick check on newegg and found that 16GB DDR4 RDIMM memory (as Patrick used in his XeonD test rig) looks like it's quite a bit more expensive than 16GB DDR3 ECC memory. Does that sound right? I'm not confident I'm comparing apples-to-apples, but if true it might tilt the balance when doing full comparisons.
this won't be cheap that's for sure but it's something I am seriously hoping to move to soon but I too will be waiting (hopefully not long) for DDR4 prices to fall.
To be fair, the DDR4 memory is faster, and that's why I shrink from claiming it's an apples-to-apples comparison. i.e. you're getting some extra value for the extra money. Is it a linear relationship? I don't know, but I doubt it. It would be an interesting exercise if someone (@Patrick?) wanted to do the math to see where the sweet spot is.
the only downside (can't find the source right now) but DDR4 has higher latency than DDR3 as DDR3 had higher latency than DDR2 etc. The thing is DDR4 will eventually scale to faster speeds than DDR3.
For me I don't really care. I'll only be able to afford 4 sticks of 16GB DDR4 and will adjust my VM usage accordingly.
