System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can’t keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache ...

Ever since AMD introduced Zen, all CPUs based on the architecture have shown that they are especially sensitive to memory speed, as well as other timings. Using faster RAM could give a sizable ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...

Since the dawn of civilization, the computing bottleneck has been the tawdry I/O relationship between disk drives and RAM (random access memory). The emergence of SSDs (solid state drives) loosened ...

Multiple PC OEMs are selling laptops outfitted with Intel Optane cache drives -- but they're improperly combining that information in ways that makes it seem as if the Optane cache drive represents ...

Where are we now with the RAM crisis? It's still bleak, despite some positive glimmers of late – and I wouldn't rely on ...

System-on-chip (SoC) architects have a new memory technology, last level cache (LLC), to help overcome the design obstacles of bandwidth, latency and power consumption in megachips for advanced driver ...

Your NAS is probably starved for RAM—here's how much it's costing you ...

The cache is soldered to the board, so yer out of luck there. In theory, the Aladdin 5 could cache up to 512, but the early chipsets had a flaw in the cache tag RAM that caused the 128 MB limitation.
