Cooler Master is bringing active cooling to DDR5 RAM, promising up to 15-degree temperature drops — 'MasterDIMM' combines G.SKILL memory with a built-in fan, kits run up to 128GB

Cooler Master and G.Skill are launching "MasterDIMM" — a new line of DDR5 memory sticks that comes enveloped in a stylishly-thick black and gold heatsink that features a blower fan. Two RGB stripes run along the top to add even more flare to a product that can't be anything other than overpriced.

Former Samsung Semiconductor Chief Says China Could Break the DRAM Price Surge

The former head of Samsung‘s semiconductor division says Chinese memory manufacturers could reverse the AI-driven global memory shortage and collapse DDR5 prices within a year — and ChangXin Memory Technologies‘s surging profits suggest the challenge is no longer theoretical. Kye-hyun Kyung, former President and CEO of Samsung’s Device Solutions (DS) Division, told a Korean engineering […]

Chinese memory maker CXMT enters the mainstream consumer memory with Corsair Vengeance DDR5 kit — Chinese-made DRAM emerges as an antidote for crushing shortages

Is the answer to the RAM crisis Chinese-made DRAM that's much cheaper to source since those companies aren't tied up in AI data center contracts? It's too early to say yet, but when a manufacturer as big as Corsair starts using DDR5 modules from ChangXing Memory Technologies (CXMT), that notion gains a lot of merit.

New cost-effective DDR5 memory 'HUDIMMs' show around 50% reduction in throughput with single subchannel — Two HUDIMMs are as fast as a single stick of regular DDR5 RAM

HUDIMM is being proposed as a cheaper memory spec using only 1x 32-bit subchannel per stick instead of 2x 32-bit in order to populate less ICs. Turns out, halving the bandwidth like that actually slashes the performance in half too, alongside the expected capacity reduction. Two HUDIMMs running in dual channel perform similar to a single regular DDR5 stick.

SK hynix starts mass production of 192GB SOCAMM2 for NVIDIA AI servers

If you think AI progress is all about GPUs, you are missing half the story. Memory is quickly becoming the real choke point, and SK hynix seems eager to cash in on that. The company says it has kicked off mass production of a 192GB SOCAMM2 module built on its latest 1cnm LPDDR5X DRAM. That ... Read more

New HUDIMM memory specification debuts with goal of slashing DDR5 prices during RAM shortages — A new, cheaper memory standard with half the bandwidth and half the capacity

DDR5 RAM usually has 2x 32-bit subchannels (single rank), which requires more ICs to populate a 64-bit wide bus. ASRock's new HUDIMM has just 1x 32-bit channel and can work with standard DDR5 in mix-and-matched configs as well. HUDIMM sticks are being made by TeamGroup and are supported on most LGA 1700 ASRock motherboards.

【悲報】メモリ不足、数年続く可能性

メモリ、2030年まで足りません。Nikkei Asiaが伝えたところによると、サムスン・SKハイニックス・Micronの大手3社が増産を進めても、2027年までの需要に対して供給計画は約60%にとどまる見込みです。背景にあるのは、AIデータセンター向けのHBM(広帯域メモリ)へ...
