Samsung today announced that it has developed a Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module (LPCAMM) lineup that leverages LPDDR5X memory in a smaller, faster, and more efficient package than standard memory. Samsung says the new LPDDR5X-6400 modules deliver up to 7.5 gigabits-per-second of memory throughput and consume 60% less board space while delivering 50% more performance than current SO-DIMM memory modules.

The frequency of Intel 14th Gen Core ‘Raptor Lake Refresh’ processor leaks is increasing as more insiders play with test samples before launch. Today, Benchleaks on Twitter/X shared three results from a purported Core i9-14900K with scores from single- and multi-threaded testing in Geekbench v6. Sadly for enthusiasts, the test results are not inspiring.

When AMD launched its six-core Ryzen 5 7500F last month, it only released it in retail in China and said that it would be available in other countries to system integrators — and that end-users would only be able to purchase it inside desktop PCs. It seems those limitations didn’t work out, and the cheapest Zen 4-based CPU is now available both in Europe and North America.

Micron on Monday introduced its CZ120 memory expansion modules that comply with the CXL 2.0 Type 3 specification and feature a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface. The modules are designed to expand DRAM capacity and bandwidth for servers that need more high-performance memory to run workloads that require loads of RAM, including in-memory databases and software-as-a-service. Samples of the modules are now available to interested parties.

Intel posted its new APX (Advanced Performance Extensions) today and also disclosed the new AVX10 [at the bottom of this page] that will bring unified support for AVX-512 capabilities to both P-Cores and E-Cores for the first time. This evolution of the AVX instruction set will help Intel sidestep the severe issues it encountered with its new x86 hybrid architecture found in the Alder and Raptor Lake processors.

AMD has begun to enable its next-generation Family 1Ah, or Family 26 processors, presumably based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture, in Linux. The patch submissions come in preparation for a commercial launch in the coming quarters, reports Phoronix. The initial patches reveal some of the first details about AMD’s server CPUs based on the next-generation microarchitecture.

Intel has shared a new poster on Bilibili that officially confirms the existence of a Raptor Lake refresh. The new CPU lineup will take on Intel’s existing Intel Core i series nomenclature and arrive as 14th Generation products. The new refresh will consist of two CPU platforms, one for desktop and one for mobile, including S series and HX/U series parts for high performance and ultrabook laptops.

Seby9123, one of the world’s top professional overclockers, set a new DDR5 SDRAM data transfer record of 11,240 MT/s at G.Skill’s overlocking competition at Computex last week. Using premium hardware, liquid nitrogen, and a lot of magic, he has managed to increase the stock speed of G.Skill’s DDR5-7800 module by 44%.

AMD’s Instinct MI300 is shaping up to be an incredible chip with CPU and GPU cores and a hefty slab of high-speed memory brought together on the same processor, but details have remained slight. Now we’ve gathered some new details from an International Super Computing (ISC) 2023 presentation that outlines the coming two-exaflop El Capitan supercomputer that will be powered by the Instinct MI300.
