Single-DIMM DDR5 gaming works better than you probably think — one DDR5 DIMM beats dual-channel DDR4 RAM, AMD’s 3D V-Cache chips drop less than 3% with single stick
Single-DIMM DDR5 gaming works better than you probably think — one DDR5 DIMM beats dual-channel DDR4 RAM, AMD’s 3D V-Cache chips drop less than 3% with single stick

To avoid rising RAM costs, some PC builders and OEMs have shifted toward using a single DDR5 module for gaming PCs. We test how much of a performance loss that actually represents.

Your next Nvidia GPU could cost up to 30% more, and AI is to blame

That dream RTX upgrade may be slipping further out of reach as AI keeps driving GPU prices higher.

DRAM chip supply to module makers could drop by more than 70% year-on-year in 2027, says Apacer CEO — demand for HBM and server RAM continues to devour manufacturing capacity

Apacer warns DRAM allocations to module makers could fall below 30% of 2026 levels as AI demand tightens supply and pushes memory prices higher.

Re-examining the DDR4 gaming gap with Intel’s LGA 1700 CPUs in mid-2026 — performance drops of 14% on average, and up to 25% in some games
Re-examining the DDR4 gaming gap with Intel’s LGA 1700 CPUs in mid-2026 — performance drops of 14% on average, and up to 25% in some games

Given the unprecedented surge in memory prices, we’re looking back on Intel’s LGA 1700 stack of CPUs to see how DDR4 and DDR5 match up with our modern gaming suite in 2026.

Chinese CXMT DRAM doesn’t look like the budget savior many were expecting — new modules enter the market, but prices still track the big three

Chinese retail listings indicate that CXMT-based memory modules are priced similarly to those featuring chips from the big three, despite expectations that they must be cheaper.

Gigabyte announces support for Chinese-made CXMT memory — pushes it to 8200 MT/s on Socket AM5

The performance is impressive and it’s good to see official support, but the question remains whether you can actually buy any of it.

AI memory shortage is now increasing the price of cars — GM warns of vast cost increases, BYD hikes driver assistance prices 20%

GM CFO Paul Jacobson says that the company’s costs are expected to increase by $1.5 to $2 billion, primarily due to increasing memory chip costs. The move comes as the RAM shortage is affecting the automotive industry, right as cars are requiring more memory and storage due to infotainment and ADAS features.

NVIDIA’s new AI can detect deepfake videos in just 22 milliseconds

NVIDIA has introduced Synthetic Video Detector, an AI tool that detects AI-generated videos with up to 92% accuracy in milliseconds.
