When Intel outlined its IDM 2.0 strategy last year, it said that to build competitive semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Europe it needed governments to subsidize about one third of the investments.

Intel recently published an updated datasheet for its 600 Series Chipset Family Platform Controller Hub (PCH). If you hit the "PCH SKUs" bookmark to the left side of the linked webpage or download the PDF and head to Page 14, you will see a table like the one below.

Kingston FURY™ Beast DDR5 memory brings the latest, cutting-edge technology for next-gen gaming platforms. Taking speed, capacity and reliability even further, DDR5 arrives with an arsenal of enhanced features

Your notebook or small form factor machine can now experience the latest, cutting-edge memory technology with Kingston FURY™ Impact DDR5. Intel® XMP 3.0 Certified SODIMM kit capacities up to 64GB, Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 packs all the enhanced features of DDR5 into a slim, compact form factor.

Intel's Sapphire Rapids processors will launch later this year. However, hardware leaker YuuKi AnS has given us a firsthand peak of how Sapphire Rapids fares against Intel's own Xeon Platinum 8380 (Ice Lake-SP) and AMD's EPYC 7773X (Milan-X) chips.

G.Skill has again hooked up with Asus to establish a new world record for DDR5 overclocking. The Trident Z5 memory has hit DDR5-8888 under exotic liquid nitrogen cooling.

Intel finally unveiled its full Alder Lake Mobile lineup today, including the new 45W H-series that tops out at 14 cores and a 5.0 GHz boost, the 28W P-series, and the 18W U-series models.

An AMD contractor has submitted compatibility testing results for the company's upcoming Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 WX-series platform to SATA-IO, an organization that oversees and supports the SATA specification.

Intel has posted a patch with a sample code of a small program that interacts with its Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) driver. The sample code itself does not reveal any additional details about the initiative.

Does Liquid-Cooled RAM Make Sense Now? You may not be able to buy DDR5 kits for a reasonable price right now, but it hopefully won't be long before you can snag a new kit.

Intel has demonstrated a prototype of its codenamed Meteor Lake processor that is due in 2023. The 14th Generation Core CPUs will be the company's first client processors that will use a multi-chiplet design.

Bleeding-edge technology is never cheap, and memory isn't any different. Therefore, it would be naive to think that initial DDR5 offerings would rival the best RAM and be accessible to mainstream consumers.
