Chips are down

Samsung Electronics plans to significantly cut its chip executive positions and restructure semiconductor-related operations.

Improvements in both performance and efficiency

SK hynix has announced the introduction of its new GDDR7 memory, which is said to be the industry's best-performing GDDR7, a next-generation graphics memory product, that brings significant improvements in both performance and power efficiency. It is expected to be mass-produced in Q3 2024.

Only coming as 48GB (2x24GB) DDR5-8500 kit

Kingston has now officially launched its new FURY Renegade RGB Limited Edition DDR5 memory kit, which it unveiled earlier at the Computex 2024 show.

Hardwired into the SoC

Starting with its upcoming Lunar Lake laptop CPU series, Intel will install memory into the processor SoC itself, offering only 16GB or 32GB initially. This will mean the end of user-replaceable RAM, at least for this series of chips.

Mirror-finish heat spreader and extreme performance

G.Skill has announced its new Trident Z5 Royal Series DDR5 memory modules and kits, featuring a brand new heat spreader design.

For workstation market

Corsair has unveiled its new line of WS DDR5 RDIMM memory kits, aimed to be used with the latest 4th gen Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors.

Part of Crucial's Pro Series products

Crucial has announced two new Crucial Pro Series products, the Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking Edition DDR5-6000 16GB modules and the Crucial T705 M.2 Gen 5 SSD.

With bandwidth over 1.2TB/s

Micron has announced it has started sampling the industry's first 24GB HBM3 Gen2 memory, with bandwidth reaching over 1.2TB/s, which is a 50 percent improvement compared to the currently available HMB3 memory.

Working on Intel's boards for now

G.Skill has announced its latest DDR5 kit based on 24GB memory modules, the Trident Z RGB DDR5-8000 CL38 48GB (24GBx2).

24 GB and 48 GB modules/kits are a no-go for AMD

While Intel 600- and 700-series boards are happily working with new 24 GB DDR5 memory modules and kits, it appears that AMD and motherboard makers have yet to make it work.
