I was thinking about how the PS4 uses GDDR5 instead of DDR3 for its' memory. Yes I know it has more bandwith then DDR3 does, but doesn't it cost way more? Besides the cost what are other downsides to ...

For decades, computer chips became smaller and more efficient by shrinking the size of various features and finding ways to pack more transistors into a smaller area of silicon. As die shrinks have ...

Memory bandwidth isn't that big of a deal on desktop platforms. Client tasks like office work, web browsing, and even computer games are usually much more sensitive to memory latency than memory ...

TL;DR: JEDEC, the organization that develops open standards for the microelectronics industry, has pulled back the curtain on two new memory module standards that promise to deliver a massive ...

When we look at normal computer memory technology, it seem like that when a new iteration comes, the previous one is gone and is replaced in a year or two. This is true for DDR2, 3, and possibly for 4 ...

AMD submitted a patent to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for a groundbreaking new memory architecture that can significantly enhance the performance of the DDR5 standard. The ...
