They will be a league ahead of the ADATA modules revealed at CES 2014

3D printing and 4K displays pretty much stole this year's edition of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2014), but there was also a respectable collection of DDR4 modules and kits there, like the ones from Crucial.

You might remember that we covered the ADATA DDR4 8 GB and 16 GB modules, with 2133 MHz clock and CL15 latencies.

The ones Crucial had there, and which will make their appearance later this year, are better.

Instead of the JEDEC standard of DDR4-2133-2400 (1.2V), they will have a clock of 3 GHz.

Intel's Haswell-E extreme-performance CPU platform will be the first to natively support DDR4 in the fourth quarter of 2014, so the Crucial RAM will likely reach availability around that time as well.

Crucial will probably also reveal some slower DDR4, but it wanted to make an impression at CES, so that's what it did.
