Mark our words, one of these days a memory maker is going to release a retail kit specified at DDR5-10000. Today is not that day, though Teamgroup is nipping the heels of the milestone that has so far eluded memory makers, with the release of its T-Force Xtreem CKD DDR5-8800 memory kit that it claims is "designed for...

There are plenty of kudos to go around when records are broken in sports—it's not uncommon for athletes to thank their training staff, teammates, coaches, parents, and anyone else involved in their achievement. So it also goes in the world of professional overclocking, hence why ASRock has taken to social media to...

At some point, we'll have to scale back our coverage of a high-tech game of leapfrog involving two notable hardware teams—ASUS paired with G.Skill, and MSI teamed with Kingston. Both sets have joined forces with professional overclockers to claim (and reclaim) DDR5 speed records, with the new speed to beat set at...

We've talked a lot about CUDIMMs, or Clock Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules over the past week or so, but that's not the only development in memory. In what we hope becomes a trend, memory makers are starting to implement both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP profiles on the same DDR5 kits, with PNY the latest to do so...

It's often said in sports that records are meant to be broken, and sometimes it can take years or even decades for it to happen. In the sport of professional overclocking, however, no such long waits are required, at least with regards to DDR5 memory frequencies. To wit, G.Skill and ASUS just snatched the overclocking...

There have been several developments in the DDR5 memory space over the past week and slightly beyond, such as G.Skill unveiling its sleek and fast Trident Z5 CK DDR5-9600 memory for Arrow Lake, and both G.Skill and Kingston jockeying for the fastest overclocked DDR5 frequency. If that's not enough to get you stoked...

How quickly things can change, eh? When DDR5 first came onto the scene, the speed-to-price ratio was underwhelming, to say the least. It didn't take long for pricing to settle way down, but speeds didn't seem to ramp all that quickly afterward. Now with the introduction of CU-DIMMs, we're seeing memory makers hit new...

Subjectively speaking, G.Skill makes some of the sexiest RAM out there, depending on your taste in modules. If you're unconvinced, I'd like to enter into evidence its latest Trident Z5 CK series memory with sleek and reflective black heatspreaders. Objectively, these new kits are some of the fastest memory on the...

One of the main appeals of GPU refreshes is the type of RAM configuration that will accompany next-generation products. To that end, Samsung is laying claiming to the "industry's highest capacity" GDDR7 with what it says are the first 24-gigabit (Gb) GDDR7 DRAM chips, which will find their way into numerous future...

If you read that headline and are thinking that 6400 MT/s isn't really fast for DDR5, then you've fallen into the same trap we did. The key detail is that the new modules, which feature a clock driver directly on the memory module itself, don't require overclocking to hit that speed. DDR5-6400 is a new JEDEC speed...

It's taken a minute, but memory makers are finally starting to approach the DDR5-10000 mark, though they're not quite there yet. They are getting close, however, with G.Skill being the latest to announce yet another overclocked DDR5 memory kit at a blistering-fast speed, the Trident Z5 Royal Neo in DDR5-9000 form...

SK hynix, which notably supplies memory chips to NVIDIA (among other customers), said it has begun volume production of the world's first 12-layer high bandwidth memory 3E (HBM3E) chips in a 36GB capacity, which is the largest capacity of any existing HBM product to date. According to SK hynix, customers will get...

One of the early promises of DDR5 memory when it first appeared on the scene was that speeds would hit a blistering DDR5-10000, leaving even the fastest DDR4 memory kits built for overclocking in the dust. We're not quite there yet, but we're closer than ever with Asgard trumpeting its new Thor-branded DDR5-9600...

For Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 200 desktop processors, perhaps more familiar by their code-name "Arrow Lake", Intel has removed Hyper-Threading from the P-cores. That makes those CPUs narrower, so they might not need as much memory bandwidth, right? Well, the Skymont E-cores are nearly three times as wide as the...

As time goes on, running artificial intelligence (AI) workloads directly on devices (as opposed to offloading to the cloud) will become more commonplace. To help push the industry towards that goal. Samsung announced it has begun mass producing what it claims is the industry's thinnest 12-nanometer class 12 gigabyte...

There are basically three important characteristics for a memory technology: its latency, its bandwidth, and the power it uses. Disparate workloads have differing requirements, though. Graphics, generally speaking, cares relatively little about memory latency and will use up as much bandwidth as you can give it...

If there's a criticism to be had with DDR5 RAM, it's that there's a latency hit compared to high-end DDR4 kits. That's the cost of taking memory speeds to the next level. In an effort to lessen the gap, G.Skill has unveiled a line of "ultra-low latency" DDR5 memory with fast speeds and high capacities designed for AMD...

If you're planning to build a new PC around AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000 series processors based on Zen 5, then obviously the CPU will be the crown jewel of your rig (and the GPU being the sceptre, if wanting to over-analyze the analogy). However, it's G.Skill's new Trident Z5 Royal Neo memory that can bring the...

Samsung’s LPDDR5X memory, which can run at a blistering 10.7 Gbps, is making its way to mobile devices featuring MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 flagship chip. This was possible thanks to the close collaboration between the two companies, which meant that the verification process wrapped up after only three months.

With CPU core counts and GPU silicon sizes simply skyrocketing, it's become harder and harder to feed all that processing power with data. Regular old DRAM packages just aren't cutting it anymore for server systems. Even for CPUs, we're seeing a clear transition over to High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which offers, well...

At the risk of sounding like an alarmist, there are developments happening within the memory supply chain that are expected to introduce price hikes on a variety of DRAM products, including chips used in high-end graphics cards. Depending on how the situation plays out, the price hikes could affected future graphics...

A report in the Korea Economic Daily is indicating that Samsung will be ready to start rolling out 3D packaging for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) later this year. This is a key technology that will enable the company to deliver its anticipated HMB4 offering, which is aimed at the AI market, sometime in 2025.
