DDR4 memory speed is tied to the infinity fabric on the 3000 series at a 1:1 ratio up to a RAM speed of 3733MHz. That mark is the sweet spot. If you run RAM faster (or slower) than that, you increase overall system memory latency.
Up to 5,000 MB/s and 750,000 IOPS using PCIe 4.0
Available for preorder on July 1st:
1 TB: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-aoru...cY9_j3wQyZAcdE
2 TB: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-aoru...ivwA2ycdWHoqwc
Edit: Now that it can be preordered, they're showing the prices. Yeah...that's a pass from me. $480 for 2TB is a joke lol

There's 2 faster. The 3900X and 3950X as well. 3 more days until reviews
Whoop! Looks like the 3000 is the real deal with FMA3/AVX2 stuff.

Remember, the 3950X 16c/32t is still coming. Expected to be available in september.
@JPM or Zombie - what seems to be the sweet point with these rigs on performance / $ and performance / watt? I'd like to build up my first new rig in a long time this fall if possible. Maybe in a month or two if the timing is right. I haven't built anything since these (probably long in the tooth now!) i7 3930K rigs Bryan gave me a good deal on. I have an extra 860W Gold PSU sitting in the back room of our office but everything else will have to be new...
