Triple versus Dual-channel memory. We've been talking about triple channel memory configurations a lot. This doesn't mean that 2 DIMMs wouldn't work in dual-channel configuration on a Core i7 platform ...

Memory channels are one of those quiet design choices that can make a gaming PC feel snappy or strangely sluggish, even when the CPU and GPU look strong on paper. The difference between running a ...

Achieving the total external-memory-bandwidth requirements of consumer SOCs (systems on chips) at acceptable costs gets more difficult with each generation of ...

High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is a high-performance 3D-stacked DRAM. It is a technology which stacks up DRAM chips (memory die) vertically on a high speed logic layer which are connected by vertical ...

Core i7 has come out and it's a hard hitting product. Not only is it a new platform based around the Core micro architecture, its native quad core design really packs a punch, too. With this, Intel ...

Today we are going to look at how various memory frequencies, timings, and configurations influence the memory bandwidth and the real-world performance of Core i7 processors. This is particularly ...

One of the check-off features of Intel’s big Haswell-E CPU is support for quad-channel DDR4 memory, but my testing shows it may not matter much. Think of memory channels as shotgun barrels. You know ...
