Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has developed the industry's first Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module (LPCAMM) form factor, which is expected to transform the DRAM market for PCs and laptops - and potentially even data centers. Samsung's groundbreaking development for its 7.5 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) LPCAMM has completed system verification through Intel's platform. Historically, PCs and laptops have conventionally used LPDDR DRAM or DDR-based So-DIMMs. While LPDDR is compact, it's permanently attached to the motherboard, making it challenging to replace during repairs or upgrades. On the other hand, So-DIMMs can be attached or detached easily but have limitations with performance and other physical features.

LPCAMM overcomes the shortcomings of both LPDDR and So-DIMMs, addressing the increased demand for more efficient yet compact devices. Being a detachable module, LPCAMM offers enhanced flexibility for PC and laptop manufacturers during the production process. Compared to So-DIMM, LPCAMM occupies up to 60% less space on the motherboard. This allows more efficient use of devices' internal space while also improving performance by up to 50% and power efficiency by up to 70%. LPDDR's power-saving features have made it an attractive option for servers, since it could potentially improve total cost of operation (TCO) efficiency. However, using LPDDR can create operational difficulties such as the need to replace the entire motherboard when upgrading a server's DRAM specifications. LPCAMM offers a solution to these challenges, creating significant potential for it to become the solution of choice for future data centers and servers.

When Crucial cancelled its Ballistix gaming brand, it was unclear if the company would launch higher-end products in the future, although the company never said it wouldn't. Back in May of this year, Crucial launched its Pro series of memory, which was not exactly pro, at least not for the readership here which is used to an entirely different level of RAM. This was largely due to Crucial sticking to JEDEC spec, even though the company did launch some DDR5 5600 MHz modules.

Now—some six months later—it appears that Crucial is getting ready to deliver some higher performance modules with its new DDR5 6000 MHz modules, although at launch, they will only be available in a kit of two 24 GB modules. Although Crucial claims JEDEC spec, the 48-48-48 timings appear to either be slightly tighter than the original JEDEC spec, or JEDEC has updated the specs since they were announced. Although nothing about these modules screams high-end or pro, there's one thing that makes these stand out against the competition, they operate at 6000 MHz using only 1.1 Volt, whereas most 6000 MHz DIMMs on the market today, operate at 1.35 Volt higher. In addition to that, as these are JEDEC spec DIMMs, there's no need to enable XMP/EXPO settings to make them work at 6000 MHz, which could be a benefit to some. There might be some potential for tweaking these modules as well, something we'll have to wait for reviews to find out about. Crucial is asking for US$166.99 for the 48 GB kit, which puts them at a price disadvantage compared to its competitors, as you can get a similar kit for as little as $115 or possibly even less.

V-Color Technology Inc, announced the highly anticipated expansion of their product lineup with the launch of the MANTA XPrism RGB DDR5 48 GB (2x 24 GB) Kit, now available in the SCC 2+2 configuration starting this mid-August.

During yesterday's HBM3 Gen2 memory products yesterday, Micron also shared an updated roadmap with select media and partners. The most interesting details on that roadmap were updates to DRAM and GDDR memory products, with increases in capacity coming for both types of memory. Micron is aiming to launch 32 Gbit or 4 GB DDR5 memory ICs somewhere in the beginning of 2024, which means we can look forward to 32 GB single sided DIMMs with a single DRAM die per memory IC. This should, in theory at least, enable cheaper 32 GB DIMMs, but as always, it's unlikely that the cost saving will be passed on to the end customer. As far as server customers goes, Micron is planning 128 GB DIMMs for 2024, followed by 192 GB DIMMs in 2025 and 256 GB DIMMs in 2026.

When it comes to GDDR, Micron will be launching JEDEC standard GDDR7 memory with 16 and 24 Gbit dies, or 2 and 3 GB capacity, the latter could be the highest capacity GDDR7 memory IC on the market and could see some interesting graphics card configurations. Micron is promising speeds of up to 32 Gbps per pin or 128 GB/s per chip, which is a big jump up from its current best GDDR6X memory which tops out at 24 Gbps per pin or 96 GB/s per chip. GDDR7 differs from Micron's proprietary GDDR6X by using PAM-3 rather than PAM-4 signalling, although this is simply something that the likes of AMD and NVIDIA would have to design their GPUs around. Micron doesn't appear to have any plans for GDDR7X at this point in time. The company is also working on several new iterations of HBM memory over the coming years, with the company expecting to hit 2 TB/s sometime in 2026 or later.

IBASE Technology Inc. (TPEx: 8050), a leading provider of embedded computing solutions, introduces the IB837 3.5" single board computer that is designed for a wide range of IoT applications, including industrial automation, smart retail, healthcare, smart city and edge AI solutions, combining powerful processing capabilities with extensive connectivity options.

At the heart of the IB837 is the onboard Intel Celeron N & J series (formerly Elkhart Lake) processor, offering a good balance of performance and power efficiency. With support for up to 16 GB of DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM memory, the SBC ensures smooth multitasking and efficient operation, delivering exceptional performance while consuming minimal power for applications requiring a compact form factor.

In July 2022, Intel announced that the company was winding down its Optane division, effectively discontinuing the development of 3D XPoint memory that it has been marketing for a long time. Once viewed as a competitive advantage, the support for Optane has been removed from future platforms. However, Intel has announced plans to extend Optane shipments by another quarter amidst additional stock or significant demand from customers buying Optane DIMMs for their enterprises. Initially set to ship the final Optane Persistent Memory 100-series DIMMs on September 30, Intel extends this date by three months to December 29, 2023.

Intel states, "Customers are recommended to secure additional Optane units at the specified 0.44% annualized failure rate (AFR) for safety stock. Intel will make commercially reasonable efforts to support last time order quantities for Intel Optane Persistent Memory 100 Series."

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading brand of performance overclock memory and PC components, is excited to announce a new white colored edition of its flagship Trident Z5 RGB series DDR5 memory, featuring extreme overclocked speeds of up to DDR5-8200 at 24 GB x 2 kit capacity.

The White Choice of Overclocked Performance DDR5 Memory
The new white version of the Trident Z5 RGB series boasts a sleek white aluminium heat spreader and features a black brushed-aluminium strip inset across the center, providing PC enthusiasts an ideal high-performance overclocked memory kit in a white themed PC build.

Innodisk has the right idea about how to do PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs—to ditch the M.2 form-factor, and make them PCIe add-in cards. This would remove the need for cartoonishly disproportionate cooling solutions with high-pitched 20 mm fans; and rather allow SSD designers to use cooling solutions resembling those of graphics cards. Gen 5 NVMe controllers have a TDP of around 15 W, or roughly similar to that of a motherboard chipset. The M.2-2280 form-factor is tiny for the deployment of a sufficiently large heatsink, and so SSD designers are resorting to active cooling, using 20 mm fans that don't sound pleasant. Most single-slot VGA cooling solutions can make short work of 15 W of heat while being much quieter, some even fanless.

The Innodisk 5TG-P AIC SSD uses a PCIe Gen 5 + NVMe 2.0 SSD controller with a large passive heatsink, a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 host interface, and 32 TB of capacity. The drive runs entirely on slot power, and besides the 3D TLC NAND flash, uses a large DDR4 DRAM cache. The company claims sequential transfer speeds of up to 13 GB/s in either direction. Innodisk is targeting the PCIe 5TG-P at workstation and HEDT use-cases. The company is building them in server-relevant form-factors such as U.2 and E.1S. A CDM screenshot shows 13.62 GB/s sequential reads, with 11.55 GB/s sequential writes.

Neo Forza, a Taiwanese brand entity under Goldkey Technology Corporation, had a booth at Computex 2023, where the company showed its next-generation memory and storage products. Starting off, the company presented its DDR5 memory kits running at 8000 MHz speeds, indicating the maturity of DDR5 and that we are way past the initial 4800 MHz speeds at launch. The demonstrated kit was a part of the company's TRINITY lineup, which was displayed in white. For demo purposes, the kit was configured as two 16 GB DIMMs.

Next up, Neo Forza has showcased its next-generation PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD. Running at x4 lanes of the new PCIe 5.0 protocol, the 2 TB SSD was spotted running at 10 GB/s speeds in both read and write tasks set by CrystalDiskMark benchmark. Interestingly, the SSD also boasted a massive heatsink, as shown below.

G.Skill a the 2023 Computex showcased its fastest DDR5 memory kits, including some high-performance kits in the non-standard 24 GB DIMM densities. Our visit to the G.Skill booth begins with a handful very boutique custom PC builds. One of them looks like a xenomorph egg, another like a glass pyramid, and another like an Intel semiconductor wafer, and another like sci-fi drilling platform. The Trident Z5 series of DDR5 memory form the bullwark of G.Skill's current-gen lineup. The company showcased a W790 + Xeon W9-3495X workstation build with an 8-channel, 384 GB (8x 48 GB) DDR5-6000 memory setup, with rather tight timings of 30-39-39-96T.

The company also showed us how fast some of its non-standard capacity DIMMs can get, with a DDR5-6800 96 GB (2x 48 GB) build with 34-46-46-108 timings. The star attraction was a build with 48 GB memory (2x 24 GB), and a stellar DDR5-8000, at 40-48-48-128, and G.Skill even performed a live overclocking event, overclocking this to DDR5-8800 speed. Among the memory module models are special gold and silver-chrome variants of the Trident Z5 RGB, and debuting for the very first time, are the Trident Z5 Royal, with its premium aesthetic, and crushed-ice looking LED diffuser.The boutique builds at G.Skill booth follow.

ADATA and XPG, its gamer focused sub-brand, unveiled a plethora of memory and storage products at the 2023 Computex. We begin with PC memory, and we see the company showing off its upcoming models of the XPG DDR5 memory targeting enthusiasts. These include the XPG Caster RGB DDR5, which is capable of DDR5-9000, the XPG Lancer RGB ROG edition, capable of DDR5-7200, and the company's overclocking-capable DDR5-6400 R-DIMM targeting Xeon W workstations. The company also showed us "Project NeonStorm." This is an innovative new SSD cooling system that uses a self-contained liquid cooler.

The way this liquid cooler works is that a high conductivity heat spreader transfers heat to a chamber containing a coolant fluid. This coolant heats up an aluminium alloy tube via convection. The inner wall of this tube serves as an airflow channel for a 20 mm fan. ADATA claims that this solution offers "over 20% better heat dissipation compared to SSDs without water cooling." This is also one of the very first SSDs we've seen that utilize Silicon Motion SM2508 PCIe Gen 5 NVMe controller. ADATA claims sequential reads of up to 14 GB/s, with up to 12 GB/s sequential writes. The drive comes in capacity-based models of up to 8 TB (could include 2 TB, 4 TB, and 8 TB). ADATA also showed off the Legend 970 PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD that uses a Phison E26-series controller, and comes in capacities of 1 TB and 2 TB. This drive belts out up to 10 GB/s reads, with up to 10 GB/s writes.

Team Group's T-Create line of memory products is targeted squarely at content creators, and characterized by their slender, sober product design. The company unveiled several new products in this brand, spanning from DDR5 PC memory to portable SSDs, docking stations, USB flash drives, and even memory cards. On the memory front, Team Group showed us both standard-size DDR5 DIMMs for desktops, and SO-DIMMs meant for laptops. A simple matte-black heat spreader dons the desktop variant. The desktop DDR5 module comes in speed-based variants spanning between DDR5-6000 and DDR5-6800, while the SO-DIMMs come in DDR5-5200 to DDR5-5600. What's interesting is that both come in high-capacity variants, with the desktop T-Create DDR5 coming in 64 GB (2x 32 GB) to 128 GB (2x 64 GB), while the SO-DIMMs come in 16 GB thru 64 GB kit sizes.

The company also showed off a plethora of new storage products, beginning with the T-Create Classic TC-200 NFC, and the larger T-Create Expert USB4. The TC-200 has a USB 3.2x2 type-C interface that's capable of 20 Gbps interface speed, which it uses to offer sequential transfer rates of up to 2 GB/s reads/writes. It also integrates an NFC reader, so it can be locked and unlocked using smartcards or mobile applications running on NFC-capable smartphones. This drive comes in capacities of 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB. The larger T-Create Expert USB4, as its name suggests, features a 40 Gbps USB 4.0 type-C interface, and an impressive 4 GB/s maximum sequential transfer speed. Rounding things off in the PC storage space is the T-Create Classic M.2 docking station. This looks a lot like a cylindrical water cooling reservoir, except you pop in an M.2 NVMe SSD. Don't add water.

PC OEM giant Acer has a growing lineup of retail channel PC products, including DIY enthusiast PC hardware under its Predator brand. The company showed some of this off at the 2023 Computex, in a booth organized by its memory products OEM BIWIN. First up, we have the Predator Hermes RGB line of high-end DDR5 memory kits. These feature elaborate aluminium heatspreaders with RGB LED illumination. We caught one of these in action, with a multi-zone RGB lighting. The Hermes RGB comes in 32 GB (2x 16 GB), and 64 GB (2x 32 GB) kits, and in speeds of DDR5-6800, DDR5-7200, DDR5-7600, DDR5-7800, and DDR5-8000, with CAS latencies ranging between 32 to 36T, and module voltages between 1.40 V to 1.45 V.

Among the consumer storage products showed off by the company include the MSC300 line of UHS-I microSDXC cards capable of 160 MB/s sequential speeds, which comes in capacities ranging between 32 GB to 256 GB. Among the SSD products shown were stuff we are already familiar with, including the FA100 Gen 4 NVMe SSD, RE100 Gen 3 NVMe SSD, the SA100 and RE100 SATA 6 Gbps SSDs; the SD100 lines of DDR4 and DDR5 SO-DIMM memory for laptops; CFE100 line of CFexpress cards, and and handful USB flash drives (UFDs).

At the 2023 Computex, we caught CORSAIR's flagship PC memory line, the DOMINATOR Titanium DDR5 series. These are built to, well, dominate the overclocking and benchmark records scene, and come in several high-speed models, such as DDR5-8000 and DDR5-8266, and capacities as high as 192 GB (4x 48 GB kits). The company also has a limited batch of 500 "First Edition" kits, which feature a gold-on-white color scheme, and the company's highest grade of manual binning.

A defining feature about the DOMINATOR Titanium DDR5 series is their heat spreader design, which consists of 2 mm-thick aluminium making contact with the DRAM chips, which connect to an upper copper heatsink with RGB LEDs studded. The edges of the top have mount-holes, so a set of 2 or 4 of these DIMMs can be bolted onto the company's latest DHX cooling module. This is essentially a chunky slab of anodized aluminium that soaks up and dissipates heat from the DIMMs, and has slats that let the RGB lighting through. CORSAIR is backing these with lifetime warranties, and plans to launch them in July 2023.

TYAN, an industry-leading server platform design manufacturer and a subsidiary of MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation, will be showcasing its latest HPC, cloud and storage platforms at Computex 2023, Booth #M0701a in Taipei, Taiwan from May 30 to June 2. These platforms are powered by AMD EPYC 9004 Series processors, which offer superior energy efficiency and are designed to enhance data center computing performance.

"As businesses increasingly prioritize sustainability in their operations, data centers - which serve as the computational core of an organization - offer a significant opportunity to improve efficiency and support ambitious sustainability targets," said Eric Kuo, Vice President of the Server Infrastructure Business Unit at MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation. "TYAN's server platforms powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC processor enable IT organizations to achieve high performance while remaining cost-effective and contributing to environmental sustainability."

GeIL, one of the world's leading PC components & peripheral manufacturers today announced the latest Pristine R5 series as well as Spear R5 series server memory products, providing solutions not only for the needs of standard Registered DIMMs which fully complies with the JEDEC specifications but also the market of high-end applications which requires high-performance server memory.

GeIL stated that the popularity of online games and the metaverse brings not simply the growth momentum of the server market, related requirements such as the gaming service, the big data analysis, and AI applications also create the massive needs of cloud computing which customers are now asking for great performance rather than just focusing on stability, reliability and security when it comes to the server products. GeIL further pointed out that the demand for high-bandwidth and large-capacity server memory is therefore continuously and rapidly growing.

Last year, Crucial canned its Ballistix brand of gaming focused memory, but it seems like the company still wants to offer its customers a more premium product, as Crucial has just introduced its new Pro series of memory products. Crucial will offer its new Pro series in both DDR5 and DDR4 flavours at either DDR5-5600 or DDR4-3200 speeds. It should be noted that the DDR4 modules still rely on a green PCB, while the DDR5 modules get the same black PCB as Crucial's regular DDR5 modules. Beyond the heatsink, there isn't much that differs between the Pro series and Crucial's regular modules, but there is one thing that might matter to potential buyers.

Crucial has added support for AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 to its Pro series of modules. In the case of AMD EXPO this only applies to DDR5 modules, whereas the DDR4 modules support Intel XMP 2.0, in this case a feature its standard DDR4 modules lack. This should make it easier for end users to take advantage of the extra performance offered by some of these modules. That said, as Crucial has stuck to JEDEC timings, taking the Pro DDR5-5600 UDIMM kit as an example, you end up with timings of 46-46-45-45 at 1.1 Volts, where competing products have timings in the range of 36-36-36-36, although usually at 1.25 Volts or higher. Even as far as JEDEC timing goes, Crucial has chosen the middle ground for DDR5 5600, as there is a timing option from JEDEC that supports 40-40-40-40, which would make more sense for a more premium product. Price wise, a 32 GB kit with two 16 GB modules of DD5-5600 modules carries an $11 price premium over Crucials standard modules, with a retail price of US$114.99 versus US$103.99, but there are better options out there at this price point.
