While this ambitious PC DIY project was a success – the system ran without restarts or crashes - one of the little SFX PSUs that was tested got so hot its barcode label started to disintegrate....

Samsung puts 3D DRAM on the roadmap, stacked DRAM to follow

DRAM featuring 3D transistors has been discussed for years, but actual makers of memory have refrained from making any real announcements on the matter. However, Samsung decided to break the silence at Memcom last week and revealed some of its plans concerning3D DRAM. As it turns out, the first 3D DRAM node is just a few years away. The world’s largest maker of memory plans to adopt DRAM with vertical channel transistors (VCT) starting from its 1st Generation sub-10nm process technology — if the slide that Samsung demonstrated at Memcom reflects the company’s actual roadmap (and judging by the company’s 10nm-class nodes, it does)....
