The Verge • • general
Key Points:
- The ongoing RAM shortage has led to a resurgence of DDR4 memory, as newer Intel and AMD CPUs are being designed to support older RAM types.
- Both Intel and AMD are releasing processors compatible with previous-generation sockets and chipsets to accommodate DDR4 modules.
- This move aims to alleviate supply constraints and offer more affordable options for consumers amid the current memory scarcity.
- The strategy reflects a shift from the usual push for the latest technology, prioritizing compatibility and availability instead.
