Micron shows off "thinnest and fastest" mobile DRAM
1-gamma LPDDR5X claims big AI gains with better battery life
Micron has started shipping samples of its 1-gamma node-based LPDDR5X memory, which it claims is the world’s fastest and thinnest low-power DRAM designed for flagship smartphones.
Chipzilla shows off CPU watercooling slab
Prototype microchannel cooler targets 1,000W heat
Troubled Chipzilla is playing with water again, this time showing off an in-package liquid cooler at its Foundry Direct Connect shindig. Rather than slapping a chunky block on top of an IHS, this design squirts coolant directly over the silicon, using copper microchannels to hit only the bits that get seriously toasty.
SK hynix stacks 321-layer NAND for AI boost
Thinner, faster UFS 4.1 lands in 2026
SK hynix is doubling down on its love affair with stacking things high by stuffing 321 layers into its latest NAND chips, making its new UFS 4.1 modules thinner, slightly more efficient, and apparently clever enough to know what you’re doing before you do.
Computex brings keyboard vents, ancient chips and a lonely dock
Asus turned up to Computex with a pile of gaming laptops barely changed from last year, now dressed up with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 and not much else to show for it.
ET900N G3 is a supercomputer with a DVD player
Asus has pulled a fast one on the performance PC world by hiding Nvidia's GB300 Ultra chip in a chassis so dull it is like watching paint dry on a beige wall in an insurance office while listening to someone explain how envelopes are made.
