Apple's Unified Memory Architecture first brought changes to the Mac with Apple Silicon M1 chips. There are clear architectural benefits for the hardware — and it is both good and bad for consumers.

The portion of a computer’s RAM that is used by a hardware device such as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), sound card, network adapter, and other hardware components is known as Hardware Reserved.

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Every computer needs Random Access Memory (or RAM) for an operating system’s temporary storage, and there’s many ways to ...

Just like a handheld, Strix Point laptops will soon easily let you move system RAM to your GPU. Just like a handheld, Strix Point laptops will soon easily let you move system RAM to your GPU. is a ...

In the most simple computer system architecture, all control lies with the CPU (Central Processing Unit). This means not only the execution of commands that affect the CPU’s internal register or cache ...

In the largest computer systems project ever undertaken at EPFL, an international team of researchers has come up with a new ...

A computer is nothing without the components or parts inside of it. Many users are taking advantage of what these powerful machines offer, yet have no idea what components make them tick. Bear in mind ...

“Your system has run out of application memory” is not a warm, friendly alert. It feels cold and dark, as if your Mac is telling you “the end is nigh.” Luckily, the end isn’t nigh, but receiving this ...
