SK hynix Launches World’s First DDR5 DRAM

by

Seoul, October 6, 2020

SK hynix Inc. (or ‘the Company,’ www.skhynix.com) announced to launch world’s first DDR5 DRAM. It is a high-speed and high-density product optimized for Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) as a next generation standard of DRAM.

Since SK hynix announced the development of World’s First 16 Gigabit (Gb) DDR5 DRAM on November 2018, the Company has provided its major partners including Intel with sample products, and has completed various tests and verification of its functions and compatibility. This will allow SK hynix to provide its customers with the products once the DDR5 market becomes active.

Team Group T-Force Xtreem ARGB 3600C14 16GB

by

Undeniably, the styling of Team Group’s T-Force Xtreem ARGB memory modules is a distinguishing feature. The sticks use a black aluminium heatspreader in combination with 15 zones of LEDs pumping out light through a mirror-finish type diffuser. Personally, I like the LED styling which I would describe as well-balanced and surprisingly subtle in terms of light intensity.

G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 C16 2x16GB

by

Hailing from the distinguished Trident lineage, the Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 memory kit that we have today aims to seduce even the pickiest buyers. The days when you had to use four or even six memory modules to get the capacity you want are behind us. Nowadays, the best memory comes in large capacities. The emergence of 16GB and 32GB DDR4 memory modules have really optimized how we use the memory slots on our motherboard; even mainstream platforms can use up to 128GB of memory with only four memory slots.

DDR5: Sub-timings and Latencies

by

Today we posted a news article about SK hynix’s new DDR5 memory modules for customers – 64 GB registered modules running at DDR5-4800, aimed at the preview systems that the big hyperscalers start playing with 12-18 months before anyone else gets access to them. It is interesting to note that SK Hynix did not publish any sub-timing information about these modules, and as we look through the announcements made by the major memory manufacturers, one common theme has been a lack of detail about sub-timings.

Corsair Force Series MP510 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD

by

The rarest SSD out there today is a 4TB consumer M.2 NVMe SSD with a TLC flash array. There are only two that we know of, one is by Sabrent, and the other is now by Corsair. Everything high capacity is trending QLC, and it doesn’t look like TLC will be around for long, at least not at capacity points above 2TB. With this in mind, we think now is the perfect time to jump on a drive like Corsair’s MP510 4TB SSD.

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition

by

With all of the news of the cap issue on GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards, ASUS has your back (and the back of your card) as the company is used to the world of high-end power-hungry graphics cards. ASUS doesn’t skimp on its ROG Strix family of cards, which is one of the first super high-end custom RTX 3080s through my lab (apart from MSI’s custom RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO).

RTX 3080 and 3090 Shortages – Until 2021

by

Another day, another NVIDIA shortage…

“I believe that demand will outstrip all of our supply through the year,” Huang said, “Remember, we’re also going into the double-whammy. The double-whammy is the holiday season. Even before the holiday season, we were doing incredibly well, and then you add on top of it the ‘Ampere factor,’ and then you add on top of that the ‘Ampere holiday factor,’ and we’re going to have a really really big Q4 season.”

ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 TUF Gaming OC

by

Every board partner building RTX 30-series cards has multiple versions of each model in its arsenal. Asus is certainly no different and populates the monster GPUs with TUF Gaming (OC) and ROG Strix versions. We took a close look at the RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC in a previous review, which is handy as the RTX 3090 TUF Gaming OC is on the testbench today.
