The AI hardware boom is sending memory prices sky-high, so knowing exactly how much you need is more critical than ever. I've worked out the most realistic RAM goals for every type of PC.

If you have an older PC and are considering a memory upgrade, you might want to do it sooner than later. Prices for DDR4 memory are expected to jump sharply as the major memory vendors phase out their ...

It's time we take a fresh look at DDR4 vs. DDR5 memory, using the "new" Intel Core i9-14900K. The last time we compared DDR4 and DDR5 memory was nearly two years ago using the i9-12900K in 41 games.

If AMD’s new Ryzen 7000-series processors get their way, DDR4 RAM is destined for the trash heap. Sure, Intel is still supporting the obsolete RAM architecture, but after yesterday’s AMD event, I’m ...

The memory market is seeing a sharp surge, fueled by rising contract prices since the second quarter and Samsung Electronics' move to phase out DDR4 modules, as revealed in communications with ...

In this article we'll take a closer look at memory scaling performance with Intel Alder Lake CPUs, or more specifically the Core i9-12900K, though these results should apply across the entire 12th-gen ...

TL;DR: DDR4 and GDDR6 memory prices are set to surge by up to 43% in Q3 2025 due to end-of-life status, supply shortages, and shifting production to DDR5 and GDDR7 technologies. This trend impacts PC ...

Previously I introduced DDR4 for space applications (see “Fast DDR4 SDRAM to enable the new space age”) offering 4 GB of volatile storage at a clock frequency up to 1.2 GHz and a data rate of 2.4 GT/s ...

The ASRock H610M Combo II motherboard is built for Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th-gen CPUs, and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 ...

A market research firm says PC DRAM prices could jump by as much as 28 percent this quarter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

TL;DR: The ASRock H610M COMBO motherboard supports 12th to 14th Gen Intel Core processors with a unique hybrid memory design featuring 2 DDR4 and 4 DDR5 slots (not simultaneous). It offers versatile ...

Major changes to the PC’s RAM subsystem typically occur once in blue moon, but mere years after DDR4’s delayed rollout, that time is upon us yet again. How fast is DDR5? What will I need to run what?
