Kovan Yang, an extreme overclocker, has just achieved the world record for fastest RAM with the Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM and an MSI MEG Z890 Unify-X motherboard running an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor. According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Kingston, the record achieved transfer speeds for DDR5-12,108.

AMD has officially launched a new wave of EPYC processors aimed at embedded systems. The EPYC Embedded 8004 series features AMD's density-optimized Zen 4c cores, with core counts ranging from 12 to 64 cores. The 8004 series is available in 1P configurations, with support for up to 1.152TB of DDR5 memory via six memory channels, and TDP's ranging from 70W to 225W.

Forget Lunar Lake; If there's one chip family that serves as the lynchpin for Intel’s entire turnaround plan, it's this – the company’s coming Clearwater Forest Xeon that it revealed for the first time at a recent event. The chip family is exceedingly important because this is the first high-volume chip to be fabbed on the Intel 18A process node, a node so critical that Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has said he has bet the entire company on it.

Although JEDEC still needs to finalize the HBM4 specification, the industry seems to need the new memory technology as soon as possible, as demand for high-performance GPUs for AI is insatiable. To enable chip designers to build next-generation GPUs, Rambus has unveiled the industry's HBM4 memory controller IP, which surpasses the capabilities of HBM4 announced to date.
