NVIDIA And SK Hynix Partner On Multi-Year Advanced AI Memory Agreement by Paul Lilly — Monday, June 08, 2026, 09:49 AM EDT NVIDIA is expanding its partnership with SK hynix by inking a multi-year technology partnership aimed at ensuring a steady supply of next generation memory products for a wave … …
… For context, first-generation DDR5 MRDIMM platforms currently top out around 8,800 MT/s, so 12,800 MT/s would represent a major jump in memory bandwidth; the new spec is roughly 45% faster. …
… The setup yields 1.2TB/s of peak memory bandwidth, allowing Vera to maintain a 90% sustained memory bandwidth utilization under the grueling STREAM TRIAD test—the highest percentage ever tested by Phoronix . …
… AMD also dunks on Apple's Mac Mini with the M4 Pro , noting that the smaller memory capacity on Apple's machine limits the kinds of workloads you can run on it. …
… This is good news for AM5 users, but it does functionally guarantee that AMD desktop platforms will not see DDR6 memory until 2030 at the earliest. …
… All of the modifications are done live, in memory, with code replacements created by Intel engineers running advanced profiling on un-optimized applications. …
… The 8-core model can utilize either DDR5 or LPDDR5X memory, at speeds up to 6,400MT/s or 6,800MT’s, respectively. The mid-level 16 core model will use DDR5 or LPDDR5X memory, but at speeds up to 7,200MT/s or 8,533MT/s. And the top-end 16-core / 12-Xe3 model will use 9,600MT/s LPDDR5X memory only. …
… Large Language Models LLMs , agentic AI , and other real-time inference workloads are constantly begging for more memory capacity and bandwidth per CPU socket. To keep up, hyperscalers need memory that doesn't just store more data, but also moves it much faster. …
… The Snapdragon X2 Elite will also come with varying memory configurations. The top-end Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme will feature up to 128GB of on-package memory with a 192-bit memory interface operating as fast as 9,533MT/s. …
… We expect it will retain its predecessor's awkward middle child status: too thirsty for low-power platforms, but not fast enough for high-end gaming or workstation use. …
