DDR4 memory can be used on a normal computer?

What is memory?

Memory is also known as internal memory, which is used to temporarily store data in the CPU, as well as with external memory such as the hard disk. Memory is one of the most important parts of a computer, and it is a bridge to communicate with the CPU. All programs in the computer run in memory, so the performance of the memory affects the computer very much.

　DDR4 memory can be used on the ordinary computer?

The vast majority of computers on the market are equipped with DDR3 memory, memory frequency is mostly 1333Mhz or 16000Mhz, and DDR4 memory as the latest four-generation memory products, the biggest highlight is the frequency and bandwidth to improve, the frequency has reached more than 2133Mhz, faster, and lower power consumption.

However, not all computers support DDR4 memory, which requires not only CPU support for DDR4 memory, but also the need for the motherboard to support DDR4 memory. Simply put, the motherboard and CPU must support DDR4 memory if the computer is to use DDR4 memory.

In the current DIY computer, only Intel's newest Skylake six-generation processor and B150, Z170 new motherboard support DDR4 memory, it is obvious that many ordinary computers with quad core processors and lower version of the motherboard, does not support DDR4 memory.

It can be said that most ordinary computers currently do not support DDR4 memory, if you want to experience DDR4 memory, you need to upgrade the motherboard and processor at the same time or purchase six generation Skylake platform PC, so you can experience DDR4 memory.

With the Skylake six-generation processor and supporting the motherboard to join the DDR4 memory support, the future new Skylake platform computer can be equipped with the next generation of DDR4 memory, down compatible with DDR3 memory. For some old computer users, to experience DDR4 memory, need to replace the new CPU and motherboard, expensive, plus DDR4 memory compared to DDR3 memory, the speed is not particularly large, for old computer users, there is no need to go to the CPU or motherboard to experience DDR4 memory, if you really want to experience, It's better to have a new machine.
