For normal desktop environment, there are hardly any scenarios where there is a noticeable performance gain from going with DDR4 over DDR3 memory. This is mainly due to the timing latency increasing, almost nullifying the increased bandwidth of ddr4 speeds.
I'm wondering if the same thing applies in a FreeNAS setup. I'm about to start my first build, but wondering if I should build it around the newer ddr4 platform, or just save a tad and stick with a ddr3 platform. Would the faster ddr4 for caching have a measurable difference over ddr3 ECC memory?
