Nice from your stand point of view, I just want to add up my experience with my kit noting else, and just cause its a new CPU Broadwell 6950X it doesn't mean that their is going to be bad bad bad sample of CPU and IMC's cpu so just keep that in mind for those that are willing to give it shot to the 128GB memory kit CLUB, are you one of those guys, Welcome.

Hey veterant,

Yea the 128gb club ain't for me but @32gb, the new broadwell-e should perform better than haswell-e in terms of memory overclock since native is 2400mhz if i'm right.

Let's face it, Intel designs X99 PCH and i7 processor parts to address "only" up to 64GB. 128GB (or more) is pretty ridiculous when 16GB is already overkill for so many people. The new iMCs are faster, but JEDEC DDR4-2400 just ain't on par with DDR4-3000 and beyond.

The i7-6950X probably won't have the "Jordan Creek" memory buffers (up to 4 buffers per iMC channel, up to 6 DIMMs per buffer = up to 24 buffered DIMM ranks per iMC channel ) which allow Xeon processors to address so much more memory (768GB to 1.5TB or more).

Always new generation of processor have little stronger IMC, average 200-300MHz.
Example 3200MHz for Broadwell-EP should be easy as 2800/3000 for Haswell-EP.
But still best price performance will be 32/64GB kits 3000MHz on around C12/C13 latency.
Everything faster will be risk and easier with smaller kits. Now X99 platform work best with 2400-2800MHz up to 64GB.
Always for Xtreme platform concentration is more on quantity.
