Samsung's 512GB DDR5 module is a showcase for the future of RAM
Samsung has unveiled a new RAM module that shows the potential of DDR5 memory in terms of speed and capacity.
The first DDR5 RAM modules promise faster, more efficient PCs
Korean chip manufacturer SK Hynix has unveiled the world’s first 64GB DDR5 RAM modules, marking a big step away from DDR4 SIMs that have dominated PC memory since 2013.
Samsung is first to ship RAM produced with extreme ultraviolet tech
Samsung just reached an important milestone in memory for PCs and mobile devices. The tech firm has shipped the first million 10nm-grade DDR4 DRAM modules based on an extreme ultraviolet process. The next-gen lithography technique should help Samsung get past barriers in DRAM scaling, allowing for better performance, shorter development time and better yields (that is, fewer bad chips). Don't be surprised if your next computer or phone has fewer memory bottlenecks.
Next-gen RAM will be twice as fast ... whenever it arrives
PC gamers and video professionals alike (among many others) live and die on fast performance. For the speed demons out there, we have some good news. JEDEC, the organization that sets standards for the microelectronics industry, says it's currently working on design specifications for the next-generation of DDR RAM.
