So yeah, you can say that I’m really looking forward to when DDR5 comes out, although it’s likely going to make me very poor for some time.Īs you can see, DDR4 is really what you should be aiming for these days, even though DDR5 might be on the horizon. Power draw isn’t going to be affected as much, going down to 1.1v, although it’s still impressive given the other improvements.
It’s also believed that capacity is going to be increased to a mind-boggling 64GB per stick, which is even hard for me to fathom. Clock speeds will go up to a theoretical 6400 Mhz (and probably start at 4800 Mhz), so it’s going to easily beat out DDR4 there. The improvements are actually pretty impressive.

And if i search in the Lenovo site I see only DDR4 memory, same if I search in the Crucial site.Ĭonsidering that the i7-6600u and the i3-6100u are of the same generation, and that they are both of the same "age", why there is this difference on the Lenovo site?Īnd more important: will the DDR4 memory work in my T460?Īnd again: would it possible to mix DDR3 and DDR4 memory modules? It has at the moment a single module that is a DDR4-2133. I've bought few days ago an X260 and it has an i3-6100u that in the Intel site supports the same memory types. That it supports both DDR4-2133 and DDR3L-1600Īt the moment there's a Samsung M471B1G73EB0-YK0 that is a DDR3-1600 SODIMM PC3L-12800S Dual Rank x8.
The CPU is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6600U I see in the Intel site. I'd like to understand well the memory types supported by my T460.
