A Deep Dive Into Modern Computer Memory: ROM, DRAM, SRAM & Flash

An illustration titled 'Modern Computer Memory Types' shows DRAM with 'Capacitor & Transistor Pair,' SRAM with 'Flip-Flop

When we talk about computer memory nowadays, most people think of β€œRAM” or perhaps the long-term storage in their phones or laptops. But behind those simple terms lies a vast and fascinating ecosystem of semiconductor memory technologies β€” each with its own history, design philosophy, and role in modern electronics. At its core, memory in computers stores information, from the instructions and data a processor is actively using to the massive amounts of user content and system files we keep on SSDs and memory cards. Yet not all memory is created equal in how fast it responds, how long it […]

SoftBank's latest initiative focuses on making the AMD Instinct AI chip much more powerful with AI workloads, through a "GPU partitioning" mechanism that sounds really interesting. SoftBank Has Deployed a Self-Built Orchestrator For AMD's Instinct GPUs, Dividing Hardware & Memory Pools AMD's AI infrastructure hasn't been the go-to option for hyperscalers in recent times, given all the attention towards NVIDIA, especially after the debut of the Blackwell series. When we talk about AMD's core customers, SoftBank is a name that pops up on several occasions, and this time, their technological wing has pushed out something pretty interesting. According SoftBank's recent […]
