What an amazingly vapid article. First off, Crucial's comparing DDR4 release specs to DDR3 release specs; in the 6 years since it came out, DDR3 has more than doubled in speed. Second, because memory controllers need to be altered to support DDR4, you won't be able to buy it in a computer for at least another year until either Intel or AMD will release chipsets compatible with DDR4. Finally, there's absolutely no discussion in there about the interesting parts of DDR4, like it moving to a pci-e style architecture of multiple channels. So no, don't hold your breath waiting for DDR4, you'll just pass out and hit your head on the coffee table.
