Won't be taking your much time

Just one question
Will Broadwell line of CPUs support DDR4 Memory ?
Would be better if someone could also provide some evidence
Thanks
 
Solution
DDR4 is going to be with Skylake CPUs(LGA1151) and Haswell-E(LGA2011,X99) and Broadwell-E(LGA2011)
So basically for consumers DDR4 is coming with Skylake.
Sorry, my answer was badly worded. I meant: They might make 97 boards in the future that will support it, but none of the currently available boards will support it.

Quoting manofchalk (from the first link):
My guess is that DDR4 will release with Skylake, the architecture after Haswell/Broadwell. We might see DDR4 on LGA1150 systems similar to DDR2/3 on LGA775, where various boards supported one or the other.

Intel can delay it. It's in their hands

Upgrading a CPU depends on usage.
If you are running a system 24x7 near 100% CPU load, then Broadwell is beneficial due to efficiency and power consumption improvements.
If you are gaming, there has been no significant performance improvements since Sandy Bridge
