Apple has patented a hybrid memory subsystem that comprises at least two types of memory: a high-bandwidth low-density type of DRAM as well as a low-bandwidth high-density type of DRAM. The patent may provide a glimpse of how Apple sees the future of its system-on-chips. Naturally, the new patent will fuel speculation that we could see newer versions of Apple's M1 chip come with the new memory design, but this type of implementation could

Have you ever heard of the saying, "Not everything is made equal?" That statement holds even more truth now with the launch of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3000 Laptop GPUs.

Nvidia has only released three primary mobile Ampere graphics cards: GeForce RTX 3080, 3070, and 3060 Laptop GPUs. In reality, there are multiple variants of each graphics card since Nvidia has given its partners

AMD reported its fourth-quarter 2020 and full-year results today, setting new records as it continues to whittle away market share from its archrival Intel despite the challenges associated with the pandemic and US-China trade war. AMD is making strides in all facets of its operation; CPU, GPU, data center, and console sales are all strong, but exceptional demand driven by the pandemic has led to rolling shortages.

AMD CEO Lisa Su said the shortages primarily impact the

Michael Driscoll, the creator of a script that scrapes sold items on eBay, has shared his latest market analysis on the Ryzen 5000 (codename Vermeer) scalping situation. Given their place on the top of our best CPUs and CPU benchmarks , it's no surprise. Although pricing has stabilized over the past month, AMD's chips are still selling for well over their MSRP.

In a quick summary, Driscoll confirmed that scalpers have sold a grand total of 8,

Micron on Tuesday announced its new 1α fabrication process for DRAM. Initially, the company will use it to make DDR4 as well as LPDDR4 memory, but over time it will be used to produce all types of the company's DRAM. The manufacturing technology promises tangible decreases in DRAM costs, but the company warns that it is getting exceedingly hard to scale DRAM.

New Technology for New DRAMs

By now, Micron has transited a substantial part of its DRAM production to its 1

Team Group has just made the world's first DDR5 SO-DIMMs designed for mobile devices, with a frequency of 4800MHz. Team Group is ready to start memory validation of these DDR5 modules with Intel and AMD once both companies begin producing DDR5-supported processors and motherboards.

DDR5 will be the next generation of Double Data Rate memory and be replacing the current DDR4 memory modules we use today. DDR5 is designed to significantly increase chip densities

We've known about Intel Xe Graphics for ages, and the integrated Xe LP variant has been shipping in Tiger Lake laptops since last fall. Raja Koduri, Intel's senior VP of Architecture, Graphics, and Software, has tweeted various images of Xe HP chips in the past. Today, he posted a die shot of the upcoming Xe HPC version, presumably meaning 7nm Ponte Vecchio. Specs are sort of unknown, though we have plenty of clues about what the final product

Custom Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics cards are slowly invading the hardware market, and Gigabyte has just announced a couple of its own. The Aorus Radeon RX 6900 XT Master 16G and Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming OC 16G are designed to release Big Navi's true power.

The Aorus Radeon RX 6900 XT Master 16G comes with a robust

To find a great monitor deal for gaming, you need the perfect balance of three key things — high resolution and high refresh rate at a seriously good price. Some favour cranking the fidelity up to 4K but sacrificing the smoothness of the image, whereas others give you peak fluidity with a subpar picture.

Acer nails this balance with their EI272UR Pbmiiipx 27-inch curved gaming monitor , which
