Samsung is pushing hard to develop 3D DRAM, the future of compact RAM, according to its presentation at IMW 2024. VCT (vertical channel transistor) DRAM is the first mountain to climb in this goal, and Samsung is scheduled to complete initial development on it next year

Intel has released a statement asking end-users and platform manufacturers to use its official power profiles that have been (or are being) added to many BIOSes. The announcement comes after a wave of reports of Intel's 13th and 14th Generation Core desktop processors crashing during certain workloads.

Intel outlined its use of AI tools in recent chip designs, tools that are undoubtedly being used to create some of the best CPUs for the coming years.

X-Silicon Inc. (XSi) has created a new RISC-V microprocessing chip architecture that combines a RISC-V CPU core with vector capabilities and GPU acceleration into a single chip.

Contract market prices for NAND flash memory will rise another 20% in the second quarter, according to Wallace Kou, president and CEO of memory device controller IC supplier Silicon Motion Technology. This upward trend is expected to persist throughout the first half of 2025.

TSMC and Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) on Thursday announced that they had jointly developed co-developed a spin-orbit-torque magnetic random-access memory (SOT-MRAM) array chip, the result of a joint development program the tandem announced in 2022.

Intel has a new series of 15W U-series chips for thin laptops that don't require a ton of power. They're getting a new brand name: Intel Core Mobile Processors Series 1. At the moment, Intel Core (no generation, no "Ultra") appears to be the name specifically for the 15W chips. These new processors are not part of Intel's 14th Gen Core HX lineup, nor the Intel Core Ultra (also Series 1) line, where the H-series parts can be found. Still with me?
