5x the bandwidth of ddr4

15x faster than ddr3

Oh my.........!!!

 

[wazza300]

you wont need to worry about cpu coolers and ram clearance with that either

 

[Steveocee]

That is the future.

As long as they can fit an LED in the middle of it so it flashes when accessed.

This looks awesome if it can provide this sort of performance.

 

[Digital X]

So this will replace the memory sticks, and fit onto boards like the cpu does or what?

Can see this costing a fair bit.

think its coming for servers/high end pc's and laptops

I don't like how its soldered into the motherboard though,if it fails then rma time for the whole board

The memory will be required to be soldered on the motherboard near the CPU.

Ah thanks.

I'd like to see CPU socket style setup going on!!

 

[wazza300]

imagine how much room you'd have with no memory slots/sticks on the board

 

[ZXSpectrum]

But by the look of those "Cubes" You would require what looks like CPU or Zif sockets to fit them in and they take up far more space than a dim slot..

Sounds interesting, needs more details I'm quite curious what 'when executing conventional code' in reference to the use of DDR4 alongside it, does this require custom code to be usable due to it's logic die or some such?

Though the 5x DDR4 and 15x DDR3 has me slightly concerned at their ability to count, DDR4 isn't 3x the bandwidth of current DDR3 or anywhere near it!

boo to soldering bits to mobos though I like the modular nature of PCs!

 

[Troezar]

It would be nice to see something related to pc's have a large jump in performance. It all seems so incremental these days. Quite boring really, the industry needs something to create a bit of a buzz and get people to open their wallets

+1

 

[Aryuvei]

When I read "stacked memory" it reminded me of the Nvidia Pascal "3D Ram" which also promises a huge leap in gpu bandwidth or whatever

 

[cwgk91]

So how long will it be until this is all included inside the actual CPU?

 

[adolf hamster]

sockets not solder!

although at this rate pc's of the future [if the cloud hasn't taken over by then] will just come as a box, you can't change anything in it, like macs.

good for average joe, bad for the master race

 

[tbyeah]

It says in the article they are smaller, so maybe it won't be too large. Say the worth of four DIMM slots.

 

[opethdisciple]

It looks like a cpu die. I take it you will need a special mobo to slot these in?
