update 2024

Three of AMD's upcoming Ryzen 8000G APUs, which will vie for a spot on the list of best CPUs, have already been tested in Passmark, and the results show that these new chips are 30% faster than their 5000G predecessors. Arriving on January 31, Ryzen 8000G APUs will be the first new high-end models for the desktop AMD has delivered since 2021's Ryzen 5000G series.

Micron has announced a lineup of the industry's first standard low-power compression attached memory modules (LPCAMM2), combining high performance, low power consumption, and relatively high capacity. The new memory sticks based on LPDDR5X memory are designed both for laptops and desktops and are set to co-exist with traditional SODIMMs for at least several years.

At the "AI Everywhere" event, Intel launched the 5th-gen Xeon processor, code-named Emerald Rapids, and Intel Core Ultra mobile processors to compete in an AI era. Intel also showcased the Gaudi3 AI accelerator.

A group of researchers at VUSec from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, specializing in system and network security, have discovered a new type of side-channel attack called SLAM (via Bleeping Computer). This attack can evade the security features of the latest-generation — and upcoming — CPUs by Intel, AMD, and Arm.

Western Digital has informed customers that prices for NAND flash memory may rise by up to 55% in the coming quarters, according to industry sources. NAND flash prices have been rising sharply in the second half of 2023, and the extent of increases in the fourth quarter has been much faster than expected.

Speed up next-generation application performance with Micron® DDR5 server DRAM: more than a generational jump in memory innovation. Reverse the trend of decreased bandwidth per core, feed rapidly growing processor core counts with memory bandwidth and density, plus enable nearly 2x the data rates1 of DDR4.

A 14-core model of Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-H CPU has been spotted by chip sleuth @harukaze5719, from a customs and shipping database. The CPU, which is presumably for higher-end laptops, also contains an integrated GPU that's presumably based on Arc Alchemist, just like in Meteor Lake.

Micron on Thursday introduced its new 128GB DDR5-8000 RDIMM memory modules based on monolithic 32Gb DRAM ICs aimed at servers and shared its vision for future high-performance and high-capacity memory technologies set to arrive over the next five years.

Information that may provide a glimpse of AMD APUs-to-come has been shared by Twitter/X’s harukaze5719. The Korean PC enthusiast shared what looks like a shipping or stock manifest containing multiple laptops and desktops, featuring several yet-to-be-announced AMD Ryzen APUs.

Samsung Foundry has landed an order to make a server-grade processor using a 3nm-class process technology with gate-all-around (GAA) transistors for an overseas company, according to a press release by ADTechnology, a South Korean contract chip designer.
