- Intel's Lunar Lake, with its integrated memory, is a one-off. (Tom's Hardware)
Future laptop chips will return to having memory on the motherboard, or on modules that connect to the motherboard.
Not because soldering the memory directly to the CPU is an anti-consumer nightmare, but because it eats into Intel's margins.
Apple can get away with 1000% markups on memory, because its customer base likes shiny things.
Intel, since it sells its chips to other manufacturers who then sell computers to you, cannot.
- Speaking of laptop memory, CAMM2 is on its way. For realsies. (Tom's Hardware)
CAMM2 modules lie flat on a laptop's motherboard rather than slotting into a socket, so the take up less room and can have more pins. And that lets them support a 128-bit bus with one module rather than the usual 64 bits.
And they also support faster LPDDR5X memory, which usually has to be soldered directly onto the motherboard itself.
Only problem is they are taking a long time to arrive. There's basically one desktop motherboard from MSI and one laptop from Lenovo using these modules right now.
- Australia's Lord Howe Island shifts by 30 minutes when daylight saving time begins and ends. (SSO Ready)
Just to annoy everyone.
- Indonesia has banned sales of Google Pixel phones after the company failed to meet a requirement of 40% local content. (Tech Crunch)
What about Apple, you ask?
They are at least playing fair. The iPhone 16 was banned there last week.
- GPD's new Pocket 4 is an absurdly tiny and extremely powerful laptop. (Liliputing)
The existing model of the Pocket 3 has a dual core Intel CPU and 16GB of RAM.
The Pocket 4 replaces the CPU with a twelve core AMD Ryzen 370, and offers options of 32 or 64GB of RAM.
The 8.8" touchscreen is bumped from 1920x1200 at 60Hz to 2560x1600 at 144Hz.
It would be an amazing device for an engineer that needs to go on-site and plug things in, if those people still exist.
