Samsung has been making promises about a 32GB DDR3 memory module since it rolled out its first 50nm 4Gb DDR3 memory chip way back in January, but it looks like it's now finally delivered. While it won't be headed for regular desktops or laptops just yet, the company does have a new 1.35 volt 32GB module for servers which, in addition to packing that record-breaking capacity, also boasts a 20% better throughput compared to previous 1.5 volt modules and, of course, a lower power consumption to boot. As some math not performed by us will reveal, the module itself is made up of 72 of those 4Gb memory chips, which are lined up in rows of nine quad-die packaged 16Gb DDR3s mounted on each side of the circuit board. No word on pricing just yet, nor is there any word about Samsung's promised desktop and laptop memory, which are apparently still in the works -- in the form of 8GB DIMMs, at least.
So would your wife
This surely isn't for consumers yet, need multiple sticks for good performance.
That's what she said
And will this meme ever go out of fashion? damn.
I don't think I could afford it...it's too big anyway.
Should I say "that's what she said"? Oh wait I already said it.
Nobody will ever need more than 640k RAM!" -- Bill Gates
That's not what he said!
Not to you, anyway.
Damn that really is huge. Too bad it won't fit inside the small box I have or even be supported by my box. It's really a tight fit in there as it is...
I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.
Other than this one.
That's what he said!
@yode you sir just won this thread
Not to you.
That's what she said - TO BOTH OF YOU!!
I have a feeling I've come a little late to this party.
thats what she said
(me too)
I showed this article to your girlfriend. She said, "That's a very large RAM stick, Phrank. Want to have sex with me?"
Notice, she said this to me, as indicated by the way she addressed me by name, while doing that thing she does with her tongue (which is, admittedly, hard to quote). In other words, that's what she said. But not to you.
Well Played. Man that was convoluted, but I followed you through every twist to that punch line. It was a bit arduos but still worth it. ;)
So did you? hehe o_O
it would be col if you could pop this in to a mac pro. And then snowleopard could use it. Cause snowleopard is the greatest OS ever- better than even your OS.
32gb? why do u need 32 gb seriously! i have 4gb in both my desktop and laptop and it can run anything i want no prob.
Yeah YOU want, but there's more things between heaven and earth than are dreamt up in your philosophy ;)
And your desktop mobo for core i7 only allows a max of 24GB anyway, this is for servers and they need it to make your paltry 4GB computer use google smoothly without waits (and helps the NSA keep track of 6.8 billion 'terrorists' eh).
Good one, 6.8 millions of terrorists... And yeah, that requires a lot of ram...
Oops, billion not million. This for staying up all night in front of the screen. I wonder if they'll find out, those terrorist-trackers...
but will it blend?
that what she said
meow.
