That is no typo, the 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX kit which Hardware Canucks just reviewed is indeed 4000MHz effective at timings of 19-23-23-45. The small size of the dual channel kit helps keep the MSRP to $225, affordable for what it is and not removing the purchase of a second kit from the realms of possibility. However the question of performance remains, does a DDR4-4000 kit provide noticeable performance improvements or is it simply good for bragging rights for those few with a motherboard that can support it? The results vary, especially when looking at memory timings and CPU overclocks compatible with the memory frequency however it was also clear that this memory could probably go faster … if you had components that were capable of reaching those frequencies.
"The Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-4000 is one of the fastest, highest performance memory kits around but with a capacity of just 8GB, will it be enough for today's applications? "
Here are some more Memory articles from around the web:
The only thing excessive
The only thing excessive about it was the price. More faster memory is a good thing. More expensive memory, not so much.

But doesn’t than mean 45ms
But doesn’t than mean 45ms latency? Isn’t that about 50% higher than most RAM. How will that affect performance when talking about consumer end use, which, for this, will probably be 1080 60FPS streaming of something like Fallout 4 on Ultra.

If you are playing 1080p @ 60Hz refresh, you don't need this RAM.

Using the timings from the
Using the timings from the wikipedia page for the JEDEC DDR4 standard and the timings of this memory, I whipped up this table: (well, I had a nice table, but the code tag compressed whitespace which messed up the formatting. Then I tried the pre tag and it didn't preserve indenting. Then I tried it as a simple html table and that just seemed to get stripped out. I give up PCPER)
DDR4-1600 @ 11 cycles is 6.875 ns
DDR4-1866 @ 13 cycles is 6.964 ns
DDR4-2133 @ 15 cycles is 7.031 ns
DDR4-4000 @ 19 cycles is 4.75 ns 23 cycles is 5.75 ns
So, no, it's lower latency.

I don’t have that. I have a short description of formatting options, then a link to the page with more descriptions, then the Mollom privacy policy, and finally the submit button.
Maybe it’s a staff thing? Thanks for formatting it so nicely! If I could dump HTML in here, that would be great. I could just export the original spreadsheet as HTML and paste it in!
