By the time DDR5 reached the mainstream, platforms like the AM4 and LGA 1700 had already achieved maturity. Years of BIOS ...
What is RAM?Over the past few years, nearly every PC component, including storage drives, graphics accelerators, motherboards, and CPUs, has seen significant performance updates—everything except the ...
The DDR4 memory market has experienced significant turbulence over the past month, as major manufacturers discontinue older production lines. This shift has triggered a surge in speculative purchasing ...
Intel will add support for DDR4 memory to its high-end computers in the third quarter, sources familiar with the company’s plans said. The new DDR4 memory, which has been under development for more ...
TL;DR: DDR4 and GDDR6 memory prices are set to surge by up to 43% in Q3 2025 due to end-of-life status, supply shortages, and shifting production to DDR5 and GDDR7 technologies. This trend impacts PC ...
In this article we'll take a closer look at memory scaling performance with Intel Alder Lake CPUs, or more specifically the Core i9-12900K, though these results should apply across the entire 12th-gen ...
Intel introduced the consumer market to DDR4 with the introduction of the X99 platform. These are the early days of DDR4, and top kits are in the 3300MHz range, which is quite modest considering DDR4 ...
The root cause of the shortage is the insatiable appetite of Artificial Intelligence. Leading chipmakers, including Samsung, ...
The Ashata adaptor efficiently converts old DDR4 laptop memory into desktop-compatible DIMMsUsers save money by reusing ...
DDR SDRAM technology has reached its 4th generation. The DDR4 SDRAM interface achieves a maximum data rate of 3.6Gbps per bit (i.e., clock rate of 1.8GHz). There are four key challenges in designing ...
We recently stacked the Ryzen 5 7500F against Intel's Core i5-12400F across a wide set of games to see which CPU makes the most sense on a new budget PC build. The takeaway was easy: the 7500F came ...
Rowhammer exploits that allow unprivileged attackers to change or corrupt data stored in vulnerable memory chips are now possible on virtually all DDR4 modules due to a new approach that neuters ...
