Say Goodbye to the Idea of Chinese RAM Being Cheap; 32GB DDR5 Modules Now Retail for Over $500 as Local Prices Catch Up Globally

A KingSpec X16GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM module labeled '1.1V' is placed above an open CPU socket on a motherboard.

Well, the idea that Chinese memory modules are cheaper has been outdated, as a recent DDR5 listing by a domestic vendor shows that RAM prices have almost leveled out worldwide. KingBank's DDR5 Modules Are Now Retailing For Prices Similar to Western Alternatives, As Shortages Leave No Other Way We did see the narrative of Chinese memory emerging as a 'saviour' for gamers pop up a few weeks ago, and it was mainly driven by the fact that manufacturers like CXMT weren't as mainstream compared to the 'Big 3' memory suppliers. However, it didn't take much time for the Chinese RAM […]

This New AI Chipmaker, Taalas, Hard-Wires AI Models Into Silicon to Make Them Faster and Cheaper; Early Results Crush Modern Solutions

The image shows a Taalas HCI Technology Demonstrator featuring the Llama 3.1 8B model, TSMC 6nm technology, 815mmΒ² area, 53

Well, it appears that the chip startup Taalas has found a solution to LLM response latency and performance by creating dedicated hardware that 'hardwires' AI models. Taalas Manages to Achieve 10x Higher TPS With Meta's Llama 8B LLM, That Too With 20x Lower Production Costs When you look at today's world of AI compute, latency is emerging as a massive constraint for modern-day compute providers, mainly because, in an agentic environment, the primary moat lies in token-per-second (TPS) figures and how quickly you can get a task done. One solution the industry sees is integrating SRAM into their offerings, and […]
