Memory market braces for shake‑up

Nvidia is moving to disrupt the memory market again, planning to deploy between 600,000 and 800,000 SOCAMM modules in 2025 and handed the entire contract to Micron.

The 512GB (64GBx8) DDR5-6400 CL38 kit

G.Skill has announced its newest high-performance T5 Neo series DDR5-6400 CL38 512GB (64GBx8) overclocked DDR5 R-DIMM memory kit that is aimed to be used with new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO series CPUs and AMD WRX90 chipset motherboards.

Military-grade paranoia in a PCIe 4.0 stick

Teamgroup has decided that blowing up your data should be just a click away, launching the P250Q Self-Destruct SSD for anyone paranoid enough to want their files vaporised at the hardware level.

Bringing higher performance and better power efficiency

The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association has officially released JESD209-6, the new Low Power Double Data Rate 6 (LPDDR6) memory standard. Aimed at advancing performance for mobile devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-demand computing environments, the update promises faster speeds, improved efficiency, and stronger security.

Old kit gets dearer as production pivots to high-end memory

DRAM prices are surging as major memory makers pull production from legacy tech to focus on high-end and AI-driven products, according to beancounters at TrendForce.

Brushes off tariff fears

SK Hynix, Nvidia’s go-to for high-bandwidth memory, has posted a 158 per cent leap in quarterly operating profit, hitting 7.4 trillion won (€5.1 billion), while shrugging off the usual US trade panic.

With 64GB modules

G.SKILL has introduced the world’s first high-capacity 256GB DDR5 U-DIMM memory kit running at DDR5-6000 speeds with CL32 timings. This 4x64GB kit, according to G.Skill, is aimed at heavy workloads including AI applications, advanced content creation, and workstation use. 

New non-volatile tech writes a bit in 400 picoseconds

A team of boffins at Fudan University have emerged from their smoke-filled labs with a semiconductor storage device that writes a single bit in just 400 picoseconds — about 25 billion operations per second.

AMD’s new CPU architecture could flip DIMM slot rules on their head 

The Chinese dark satanic rumour mills have manufactured a hell-on-earth yarn claiming that AMD’s upcoming Zen 6-based Ryzen CPUs—codenamed “Medusa”—will throw a spanner in the works for memory layouts, thanks to changes inside the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC).

Based on high-speed 64GB DDR5-8000 modules

G.Skill, a well-known when it comes to memory modules, has announced new high capacity 128GB kits that hit DDR5-8000 speeds. These will be a part of G.Skill's Trident Z5 and Trident Z5 Royal NEO series and are based on new 64GB DDR5 modules. In addition, G.Skill is bringing new DDR5-9000 64GB (2x32GB) memory kits
