Will haswell e support ddr3?

[bubbabigsexy]

Do we know if haswell e will support ddr3 and ddr4? Or will it only go with ddr4? I recently purchased 16GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum and spent a good $250 on it. If haswell e will support ddr3 then I will wait for that and get an x99 motherboard. If not, then I'll just get a Devil's Canyon chip and a z97 board. Ddr4 will be way over priced when it comes out and I have no interest in wasting money on it right away.

No, the x99 platform uses DDR4, and does not support DDR3.

DDR4 is a different pin count than DDR3, it can't support both.
