What is RAM?Over the past few years, nearly every PC component, including storage drives, graphics accelerators, motherboards, and CPUs, has seen significant performance updates—everything except the ...

If you have an older PC and are considering a memory upgrade, you might want to do it sooner than later. Prices for DDR4 memory are expected to jump sharply as the major memory vendors phase out their ...

Buying RAM is all about timing. No, not timings, as in latencies—well, that too—but when you actually pull the trigger on a new memory kit. Pricing fluctuates over time, and more recently has been ...

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is the part of your computer that keeps programs running in the background. When your RAM is working properly, you'll be able to switch between programs quickly and ...

Academic researchers testing modern memory modules from Samsung, Micron, and Hynix discovered that current protections against Rowhammer attacks are insufficient. Current mitigation solutions are ...

The DDR4 memory market has experienced significant turbulence over the past month, as major manufacturers discontinue older production lines. This shift has triggered a surge in speculative purchasing ...

A few weeks ago we reviewed Intel's new Alder Lake architecture for the first time and with it we also got our first chance to play around with DDR5 memory. In our Core i9-12900K review, we tested ...

Rowhammer exploits that allow unprivileged attackers to change or corrupt data stored in vulnerable memory chips are now possible on virtually all DDR4 modules due to a new approach that neuters ...

Some memory modules have become considerably pricier over the past few days. Certain DDR4 DIMMs for desktop PCs, notebooks, and servers are particularly affected. It is currently difficult to assess ...

At its simplest, RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory, often referred to as short-term memory because it is volatile, meaning that the data is not saved when the power is turned off ...

When we reviewed Ryzen's latest iteration we briefly checked out how DDR4-3200 CL14 compared to the DDR4-3600 CL16 memory that AMD supplied to us, as they claimed that was an optimal configuration.
