We have reached day 20 of the KitGuru Advent Calendar! Today, we are moving away from peripherals and teaming up with G.Skill to give away a brand new Trident Z Royal 16GB RAM kit!

RAM prices have been in a constant state of flux over the last few years. Most of the time, picking up a 3000MHz+ 16GB kit will set you back close to, if not more than £200 here in the UK. Fortunately, memory pricing is predicted to be coming down over …

Back in June, we had the chance to check out G.Skill's booth at Computex. This is when we got our first look at the company's new Trident Z Royal memory series, bringing a new, distinct look. It has been several months since we last saw it, but the carriage has …

We still have some life left in the DDR4 generation but DDR5 is coming and SK Hynix is already at the forefront.

SK Hynix is the second largest DRAM manufacturer in the world behind Samsung. And after strong financial results for the last quarter, the company is looking to invest 3.5 trillion Won (£2.37 billion) in a new semiconductor fabrication plant at its HQ in Icheon, South Korea. SK Hynix has announced …

Google Chrome is already rather infamous for eating up a lot of RAM. Last year, we saw Google begin to take steps to tackle the issue, but thanks to Spectre, those efforts are now in-vain. This week, Google announced that Chrome would be getting a Site Isolation feature, which will …

Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron enjoyed increased profits for DRAM in 2017, but the pricing spike has raised questions of collusion and artificially inflated pricing.

Two weeks ago, we saw G.Skill become the first memory maker to achieve 5GHz speeds on DDR4 using only air cooling. Now, it looks like others are starting to catch up, with ADATA announcing this week that it also managed to break the 5GHz barrier on an XPG RAM kit. …

Over the last year, the tech world has been suffering from a shortage in memory chip manufacturing. This has led to huge price hikes in RAM and even SSDs at retailers, making it harder for DIY system builders to source components at reasonable prices. Now it looks like Samsung is …

CES 2018 has kicked off and we are already starting to see some exciting announcements.
