Its coming out end of this month, but I am wondering if there are any benefits in investing in it for gaming. Cause previous generations (SBE, IBE) all show hardly any improvements, so I wonder if HE will have any difference.
Perhaps the biggest change will be DDR4 instead. However, looking at the specs of DDR4 I have doubts whether 1st generation of DDR4 is any faster than DDR3. Cause the latency of DDR4 is rather high (around 13 compared to 11 for DDR3). Then clockspeed is the same (2133MHz) as well. The only other main difference is the lower voltage but it does not affect performance.
So, I wonder if its worth investing in HE for gaming (just for gaming), not apps that benefit from multi-cores.
