Samsung is prepping 400-layer V-NAND for future 16TB SSD storage and PCIe 5.0 performance
Rival SK Hynix is also working on 400-layer NAND
Intel says integrating RAM into Lunar Lake SoC was a mistake, might abandon desktop GPUs again
In brief: Intel Lunar Lake mobile CPUs controversially integrated system memory onto the SoC, preventing users from installing additional RAM. The company now partially blames the decision for its latest disastrous earnings report. Furthermore, Intel's restructuring plans might involve downsizing or ceasing development Arc desktop GPUs.
Samsung speeds up development of a new breed of memory that combines RAM and SSD properties
Forward-looking: Samsung is working to accelerate the development of a promising new memory technology called Selector-Only Memory. The latest tech combines the non-volatility of flash storage and DRAM's lightning-fast read/write speeds, making it a potential game-changer. Furthermore, manufacturers can stack the chips for higher densities.
G.Skill's new DDR5-9600 CUDIMM sticks can achieve DDR5-10000 speeds on air cooling
You'll need supported motherboards, of course
What just happened? G.Skill just unleashed its Trident Z5 CK and Trident Z5 CK RGB DDR5 RAM designed specifically for Intel's freshly launched Core Ultra 200 processors and Z890 chipset motherboards. The headliner is that these sleek memory sticks are rated for a blistering DDR5-9600 straight out of the box.
