    I didn't see the point of this article, I'm you are gonna compare prices then use apples vs apples or in this case match the speeds.

    1333 ram is a lot cheaper than 2133 so to compare 1333 ddr3 with 2133 ddr4 is like comparing the price of Nike shoes to the price of a pick n pay flip flop.

    Have to agree. Making a comparison using different frequencies doesn't really compare adequately.
    They need to be compared on par with one another (same types etc).

    I agree, just I would more say a pick n pay sandal than a T-shirt. Unless the article was comparing DDR4 with cpu's

    DDR4 is not worth it with it's initial support for only one CPU/nobo type at this point in time.
