Cryptographer Develops Multi-core Memory

DailyTech:

One of the ways chipmakers improved performance was by building multi-core CPUs, like Intel's Penryn processors, that allow for parallel execution of data. Memory chips haven't been able to keep up with the performance increases we are seeing in processors making for a bottleneck in the performance of computer systems and other devices.

In order to tackle this problem, a cryptographer named Joseph Ashwood has developed a new memory architecture that allows for multi-core memory.

"Ashwood says his architecture can hit 16Gbytes per second compared to the DDR2 limit of 12 Gbytes per second."

Well unless its much cheaper than DDR3 i cant really see the point?

travelguy2k6712d ago

XDR ram, cause for some reason i though that was supposed to allot faster. Also, I thought the real bottleneck was the HDD access speeds?

mighty_douche6712d ago (Edited 6712d ago )

very true, but with solid state drives coming or even 800gb+ memory cards, HDD bottleneck will soon be a thing of the past.

Honestly, at current hardware levels, 4gb of good DDR2 (maybe with a little OC) is more than enough, even with Vista.

http://www.overclockers.co.... = Plenty.

GIJeff6712d ago

i use 4gb of DDR2 @ 880mhz. Its plenty for me!

heyheyhey6712d ago

this looks interesting, but DDR3 barely launched and now they are planning multi-core?

slow down a little ok, i still have to buy a ddr3 motherboard and they already have me excited about multi-core ram

i would like to see multi-core GPU and not just SLI... proper multi-core, i heard the nvidia 9800 will do something along those lines

mighty_douche6712d ago

9800GX2... they've gone this with previous cards (not to much success compared to SLI).

heyheyhey6712d ago

yeah, but this one is supposed a little different..... anyway you know what im talking about, multi-core gpu just like multi-core cpu

im sure its just around the corner

ionace6712d ago

they had the NVIDIA 7950GX2, but was like a thousand bucks or something and didn't quite scale up as well as SLI

GIJeff6712d ago (Edited 6712d ago )

its a damn good card. Theres no point to having quad sli because i dont have a monitor that would require that much video memory. The 7950gx2 has 2 X 512. Plenty for my dual 1280x1024 monitors... right now im getting 9200+ 3d marks in 06. Which is not bad at all for a dx9 set up.

AMD FX-62 @ 3080mhz
4GB OCZ Reaper HPC DDR2 @ 880mhz
nVidia 7950gx2 570mhz gpu : 700mhz DDR3

I can literally play every game out with ease(60+fps) except freaking crysis.

@ heyheyhey
the 9800gx2 and 7950gx2 are NOT multi core. So really, that hasnt been done before. The closest thing will be ATI's new card, because its 2 gpus on one board. The 7950gx2 is two boards on top of eatchother(sli in one pci-e slot), as well as the 9800gx2(from what i gather, i could be wrong on the 9800gx2 as it is not out yet).

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.

"It's Just So Lame" - RTGI Modder Thinks DLSS 5 Is Impressive But Shares AI Slop Sentiment

Pascal Gilcher calls DLSS 5 impressive but shares the "AI slop" sentiment, explaining the likely tech behind it and why he dislikes it.

I fail to see how this is AI shhhhlllloooop. Looking at the different games they showed, this has made many of them look far better.

isarai_lee69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

It's AI slop because it ignores the artists intent and changes the details ESPECIALLY when it comes to character faces. The scariest part of it is introducing it as the next stage of DLSS, a feature where the current iteration already has controversy surrounding it and for quite a lot of games cannot be fully disabled. So reasonably the precident is already set for what path this could take, and it's not good

blacktiger69d ago

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost and so on. Many of the lighting deletes shadow, including shadow on the face like eyes even chin.

Chard69d ago

Why stop at art when it comes to human input - why not just have AI play the game for us, remove human input altogether

theshizer69d ago

If you don’t like it, just don’t enable it. Personally I think it looks great from the videos I have seen.

isarai_lee69d ago

And what about when you can't? Cause there's plenty of games where you cannot fully disable dlss already, i mean we're well into an era where it's a major crutch for developers to cover up their cut corners, why would this be any different?

blacktiger69d ago

You are playing with people's money and allow Nvidia to scam you.

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost. This is all lie to raise the cost of the graphic card.

Andrew33669d ago

Making characters look more realistic not ok because we want the developer to decide on how the game was intended to look. - Internet

Change entire game through mods thus changing how the developers intended the game to be is ok. - Internet

isarai_lee69d ago

Something consumers can do to a product after they have purchased it, entirely optional and can always be undone with a fresh install

VS

The leading gaming hardware manufacturer making this the next iteration of the main AA/Upscaling technique that is heavily relied upod by modern devs and is not optional in most games.

Not at all the same but nice try

jwillj2k469d ago

At the moment you need 2 5090’s just to get an image on the screen so this is all vaporware until proven otherwise.

Andrew33669d ago

The good news is you can just not use it as well.

Christopher69d ago

It's all about choice in the end. But, I would say that calling it 'more realistic' is quite a stretch. It looks like AI art, and that's rarely realistic.

Urrakia3469d ago

All the comments I see are reminding me of how we got to the current state of gaming when microtransactions were first introduced: "It's completely optional guys, we promise! If you don't like it just don't buy it!"

I think we all know how that ended up.

Popsicle69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

I had the same exact thought the first time this was brought up in a separate article about a week ago. Took me straight back to the conversations surrounding “horse armor.” Just don’t buy it they said. Years later, many IPs I previously enjoyed are so infected with monetization schemes that I don’t even consider purchasing them anymore.

DLSS 5 and the like are the same thing wrapped in a different package. History rhymes but many of us never learn from it.

blacktiger69d ago

Biggest Scam. Overrides lighting and shadow. So why keep Ray tracing? It's all a scam to raise graphic card. We now see Nvidia with Microsoft downturn anything against them. Sony is next!
