Samsung Display announced the start in March of the volume production of an OLED panel a 90 Hz intended for notebooks . The new solution from 14 inches , according to Samsung Display CEO Joo Sun Choi, “can best meet the diverse needs of consumers in laptops used in telecommuting, online education, video streaming and games “.

South Korean manufacturer believes new panel will be welcomed by consumers thanks to images with better contrast and color, together with a better response time which should ensure a motion blur comparable to that obtained with an LCD screen at 120 Hz when viewing content at high speed.

Samsung has not provided further technical details (aspec ratio, gamut, etc.) nor indicated any OEM ready to adopt the panel in question. OLED displays are not a total novelty in the laptop industry, but they are certainly not common. Some models offer an OLED panel as an option, but these are 60 Hz solutions. Samsung itself, l ‘last year, it presented a Galaxy Chromebook with an OLED display, while this year it turned to a cheaper QLED.

However, it should not be forgotten that in recent days the Asian company has anticipated the arrival of a future notebook with OLED screen and webcam “under” the display, a novelty able to eliminate as much as possible the frames to the advantage of a larger viewing area and a better design.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX – New APU from Reds, the most efficient mobile chip in the PassMark test

Just a few days ago, during the CES conference 2021, AMD has officially unveiled the fourth generation of APUs from the Cezzane family. It is a family based on the new Zen 3 architecture, which boasts, among other things, doubled the amount of L3 cache and reduced latency. The new AMD Cezanne-H processors are to hit machines from different price and performance shelves, also to top gaming laptops. We have already learned the performance of one of the leading models in the form of AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HX. To the delight of fans of the “red power side”, the new chip takes the top place in the multithreading test in PassMark, beating Intel processors.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HX scores 7 in the PassMark multithreading test 445 points more than last year’s Intel Core i9 10980 HK.

AMD Ryzen 5000 – premiere of Cezanne processors for laptops Zen 3 architecture enters the top notebook

AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HX is 8- core and 16 – threaded, unlocked processor with TDP 45 W + which works with clocks from 3.3 to 4.7 GHz. This is the second the best chip from the AMD Cezanne family, and only AMD Ryzen 9 5980 HX with 100 MHz with higher boost clock. The system went to the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR laptop 17 G 733 (32 GB of RAM + GeForce R TX 3080), and this one was tested in PassMark in the multi-threaded performance test. Currently from 24 039 he takes first place with points. For comparison, the top chip from the competition, Intel Core i9 10980 HK, has only in the same test) 594 points.

For the sake of fairness, however, it must be emphasized that the CPU from the Blue was tested at 2.4 GHz. So let’s take a look at the performance against the previous generation mobile chips from AMD. Here AMD Ryzen 9 5900 HX drops by 21% better than AMD Ryzen 9 4900 HS (19 854 points) and 25% better than AMD Ryzen 7 4800 H (19 180 points). The question is, what will the performance of the upcoming Intel Tiger Lake mobile chipsets, which are expected to be released in the second half of the year 2021, look like?

A notebook water cooler from the 3D printer (2nd update)

Roman Hartung alias der8auer has already tried several times to further optimize the cooling of a notebook – but so far without success. The application of liquid metal and the tuning of the fan control have a positive effect, of course, but the project should only show a few percentage points of performance gain.

The preliminary highlight is the printing of a water cooler for the notebook. This is an Acer Predator with an Intel Core i9 – 9980 HK and a GeForce RTX 2020 Max-Q. Acer cools the two components along with the power supply using an elaborate heat pipe construction, in which five heat pipes ensure that the waste heat is conducted to the cooling blocks with their cooling fins, where two radial fans, typical for a gaming notebook, provide the necessary fresh air . But with such a construction, you will of course quickly reach certain thermal limits.

For this reason, Roman turned to the Parare company, which has developed 3D processes that also produce complex components Enable metal. The printers themselves are of course from other manufacturers, but Parare has built up a certain amount of expertise in metal 3D printing, which is used in the automotive industry, among other things. Such a process can be used, among other things, when a destructive process (machining, milling, etc.) is not possible because the complexity of a component simply does not allow such processing.

At Parare, a water cooler was then built that is to be used in the notebook. This was 3D-printed from aluminum and of course has roughly the design of the original air cooler with its heat pipes, since it should also fit into the notebook again. The two fans should still be used, but of course the cooler has the connections necessary for water cooling.

Inside, in the area of the CPU and GPU, there are of course some structures that absorb the waste heat should optimize. With this kind of flat design it would not have been possible to build such a cooler in the classic way. There is simply not enough space for a CNC-milled cooler with cover and O-rings and even assembly would hardly have been possible. In this respect, 3D printing offers the possibility of realizing this.

In another video there will also be the results on the use of water cooling in the gaming notebook. We will update the message accordingly.

1. Update: First results

Roman has meanwhile installed the water cooler in his notebook and is delivering first results. It is also explained in more detail that there is an internal water cooling circuit that is operated by a small pump even without using the external connections. This pump works with 5 V and can be connected internally in the notebook. The two fans cool this internal circuit. In stationary operation there are quick-connect connections via which the cooler is then operated externally. The notebook remains completely independent in mobile use.

2. 500 to 3.00 The 3D-printed cooler cost 0 euros in this form or would cost roughly. It is a prototype, i.e. a initially unique project.

The first measurements show a rather high boost clock in single-threaded operation, which is reflected in the corresponding Cinebench points . Were it so far 454 points are it now 473 points. In the multi-threaded test, the temperatures then rise again 90 ° C, but obviously significantly higher boost clock rates are achieved, so that the Cinebench result by 600 to 700 Points (2nd 889 Points before and now 3. 521 Points ) is higher. The increase in processor performance is already quite decent.

Obviously, however, the cooler still has its problems with cooling the GPU. In the Time Spy test 9. 225 Points achieved for the graphics test, with the 3D printed water cooler there are only 5. 195 Points. The GPU also gets around good 10 ° C warmer than before.

In the next video tests with the external supply of the water cooling will follow.

2. Update: Results with an external circuit

Now Roman has also delivered the results with an external circuit connected. By further optimizing the power limit, the result in the multi-threaded test of Cinebench R 23 on 3.997 points are increased. From 2. 700 points with the standard cooler became 3. 500 Points with the internal circuit with the notebook case open and now almost 4. 00 0 points with the external water cooling.

Now that the temperatures for the GPU were also right (although Roman had to adjust the amount of thermal paste here), was able to also the 3D performance based on 9. 225 Points increased to 9. 551 points

In the end, the performance plus certainly does not justify the effort and certainly not the costs. But that’s always the case with such a project and how much effort you want to invest is ultimately up to you.

Qualcomm prepares an alternative to Apple's M1 chip: ARM for everyone

A new Qualcomm chip for Windows systems on ARM, Snapdragon SC model 8280, confirms the general interest of the sector towards solutions that are based on ARM architecture to better balance power and consumption

by Paolo Corsini published 20 January 2021 , at 10: 21 in the Processors channel

Apple MacBook Qualcomm Snapdragon Windows Intel AMD

One of the future directions in the world of mobile devices and personal computer is that of the progressive adoption of processors and SOC based on ARM architecture , such as alternative to that x 86 adopted by Intel and AMD processors. ARM is certainly not new as it is the architecture adopted by mobile devices such as tablets, smartwatches and smartphones by virtue of the balance between performance and low consumption that allows to obtain.

On the other hand, the sector is pushed to the adoption of ARM architectures also in systems that until now have seen the proliferation of processors with architecture x 86, in search of an ever-increasing energy efficiency . Quacomm started this transition with its Snapdragon family SoCs designed for Windows on Arm notebook systems, with the model Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 as the last representative to appear on the market.

Apple has for some months put on the market the first Mac notebooks based on ARM architecture, equipped of chip M1 developed internally by the company. The behavior of these systems has surprised, thanks to the balance between speed performance and consumption, confirming how the ARM architecture can represent a valid alternative to that x 86 also in areas typically falling within the competence of the latter.

Hence the general interest of the sector and the rumors of a new specific SoC for Windows on ARM notebook systems that Qualcomm would be developing. Referred to by the name of Snapdragon SC 8280, this SoC would have dimensions greater than that of Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 thus integrating a greater number of transistors and therefore in theory higher processing power. The rumors reported by the WinFuture website speak of two different configurations, the first combined with 8GB of LPDDR5 memory and the second with well 32 GB of LPDDR4X memory; the second would represent a doubling compared to the maximum allocation up to now combined with the Apple M1 chip contained in the new MacBooks.

It is Snapdragon SC 8280 may borrow part of its architectural features from the Snapdragon SoC 888 , proposal for top-of-the-range smartphones built with 5-nanometer production technology and announced by Qualcomm in December 2020. The integration of the 5G modem is also conceivable for this new SoC intended for notebooks, so as to offer connectivity in any condition of use while simplifying the overall structure of the products.

these are only rumors which confirm the general interest of the industry towards alternative solutions to those x 86 . For the latter, Intel and AMD are certainly not watching, continuing to develop versions in their CPU ranges capable of operating at very low consumption levels (under 7 Watts of TDP), therefore compatible with passive cooling systems and capable of to offer high operating autonomy with battery. In this direction we must highlight the Intel Lakefield proposals, based on architecture x 86 with two different types of core one with high performance and the other with lower consumption.

Shortly, during 2021, we will see at the debut the new versions of Apple M1 SoC equipped with a greater number of cores and intended for use in MacBook Pro systems higher-end: this will be a new step in Apple’s gradual abandonment of architecture x 86 for your Mac notebook and desktop systems. Without forgetting that in the past AMD has expressed its interest in developing processors with ARM architecture dedicated to datacenters , initiative which was however suspended giving internal priority to Ryzen solutions. It is not certain that AMD can also explore this strategy for its CPUs of the future, relegating x 86 to higher-end models and offering its customers a processor with ARM architecture for the most critical areas in terms of consumption and dimensions.

New Intel boss wants to compete again with “lifestyle company” Apple

The freshly baked new Intel boss does not want to be stolen from the bread in Apple’s processor business. In an address to employees reported by the Oregonian local newspaper in the US state, Patrick P. Gelsinger said his company had to deliver “better products” to the PC ecosystem as “every possible thing a lifestyle company from Cupertino could deliver”. “We must be so good in the future.”

Apple Silicon rushes ahead The slightly condescending formulation naturally refers to the Mac manufacturer, which started with its first desktop and notebook processor ARM-Basis, the M1, had caused a stir in the IT scene – both with its performance and with its diverse possibilities. For example, Intel code sometimes runs faster on ARM Macs than on Pentiums via the Rosetta 2 translation software. In addition, the M1 is very energy-efficient and develops comparatively little heat – so the MacBook Air with Apple Silicon works completely without a fan.

Apple was not quite 15 years ago in the Intel universe switched to its own processors, as they are already in the iPhone and iPad. This switch could be completely finished by 2022, various other models with Apple Silicon are expected this year. Intel currently has nothing to counter this, as industry observers believe.

“The best times are still ahead of Intel” Gelsinger will soon inherit his predecessor Bob Swan. Only then should new central decisions be made. The manager who is currently in charge of VMware is not a newcomer to Intel – until 2009 he worked for the chip giant for a good three decades and was chief among other things Technology Officer. In his opinion, Intel has “the best of days ahead”. The group has already taken the first steps towards changes under Swan.

So he began to issue the production of high-quality CPUs to contract manufacturers for the first time. Apple has been pursuing this strategy from the start – all Apple silicon products currently come from TSMC’s Taiwanese fabs, previously also from Samsung. Oddly enough, Intel is now also using the services of TSMC – Core i3 chips with a structure width of 5 nm are initially produced there, and later top CPUs in 3 nm production are also manufactured. It is unclear whether this is sufficient to stand up to the increasingly powerful ARM chips. (bsc)

Competition for Intel and AMD? Samsung is to develop Exynos SoCs for PCs

The large CPU manufacturers Intel and AMD are currently dividing the desktop market between themselves. This could soon come to an end, however, as Samsung apparently has an SoC in the works as an additional player for use in Windows devices. At least that’s what the leaker @TheGalox_ claims in a tweet, according to which the planned CPU should be based on an Exynos processor. Earlier statements of the speaker @Mauri QHD should be the Exynos 1000. In the meantime, an adapted version of the Exynos processor 01 used in the Galaxy S 2100 however much more likely.

Previous Windows on ARM devices, such as the Surface Pro X, have not yet been able to compete with the Measure competition from Intel or AMD. The distance to the Apple M1 is even greater. A Microsoft SQ2 based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen2 works inside the said Surface. The system is currently struggling with a lack of software support and high prices. Recently, however, it became known that Qulacomm is already working on a successor to the 8cx Gen2. Whether its performance can keep up with the competition from Cupertino remains to be seen.

Similar to Qualcomm’s new SoC, the Exynos SoC is currently also available for the supposedly planned Exynos no details. A small indication of what to expect is only provided by Samsung’s statement that graphics chips from AMD will also be used in their own CPUs in the future. It remains to be seen whether the leak will be confirmed and, if so, when Samsung will dare to venture into the ARM notebook / PC market. What is certain, however, is that many manufacturers have recently turned their attention to the potential of ARM chips.

Intel Optane, goodbye desktop and workstation? Only notebooks and servers for the future

Intel has announced the retirement of many Optane SSD for the consumer world, effectively canceling the offer for desktop PCs and workstations. The company focuses on the notebook world, with Optane Memory H 18 , and the server sector with second generation 3D XPoint memory.

by Manolo De Agostini published 18 January 2021 , at 19: 21 in the Storage channel

Optane Intel 3D XPoint

Intel announced the retirement of most of the Optane SSDs dedicated to the market consumer presented in past years. Storage Solutions Optane Memory M 10, 800 P, 900 P e 905 P (all based on first generation 3D XPoint memory) will leave the scene by 26 February of this year, when the last deliveries of the orders collected will be made by mid January.

The strategy by Intel with Optane, at least as far as the consumer world is concerned, seems to veer only towards the world mobile , totally neglecting any desire to carve out a space in place of SSDs in desktop PCs and workstations. 3D XPoint memory, the foundation of the Optane range, will continue to reach consumers with notebooks equipped with Optane Memory H 20 , an M.2 module that merges 3D memory NAND and NAND Flash to ensure laptops with good storage capacity and high responsiveness, allowing OEMs to build a thin product at the same time.

Optane Memory H debut 20 is scheduled for Q2 , in two versions with 512 GB or 1 TB of 3D NAND QLC a 144 layer flanked by 32 GB of 3D XPoint memory. Optane Memory 20 has a PCI Express 3.0 interface and we will find it on board notebooks with Intel Core CPUs of 01 th generation of the U series and chipset of the series 500.

Unless future strategy changes, not foreseeable at the moment, we will not see more Optane cards destined for the desktop / workstation world. Unsurprisingly, Intel has decided to sell the NAND memory business to SK hynix (although it will be a long transition), while retaining control over the Optane business based on 3D XPoint memory (manufactured by Micron and subject to a other agreement).

This control is functional to offer Optane SSDs in the server sector, where they make the most sense to exist (even for a mere matter of profit margins). Intel recently announced Optane SSD P 5800 X, a U.2 drive intended specifically for second generation 3D XPoint memory based datacenters. And in the same area we should not forget Optane Persistent Memory, the range of memory modules that fit into the classic DIMM slots of DRAMs but, unlike the latter, store much more data and retain them even in the absence of power.

Intel recently made it known that after the proposals of the series 200 already available, codenamed Barlow Pass, it will be up to the “Crow Pass” generation to join the future Xeon “Sapphire Rapids” processors. There will therefore most likely be a major change in terms of the interface, as future CPUs will support DDR5 memory.

The latter are now almost extinct because this design has a massive disadvantage for mobile devices: In order for the device to be used as a notebook, the body must be heavy as a counterweight – otherwise the device will inevitably tip over backwards as soon as the lid is opened

Asus has nevertheless returned to this design for the ProArt StudioBook One, although it is not a hybrid device with tablet ambitions: In the 15, 6-inch notebook comes not only an eight-core processor from Intel (Core i9 – 9980 HK), but also the professional GPU Quadro RTX 6000 including 24 GByte GDDR6 memory – so an extremely powerful graphics chip with more shader processors than the mobile gaming flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Super.

Both high performance components – CPU and GPU – require a powerful cooling system.

Intel says goodbye to its Optane SSDs for the home market

by Antonio Delgado Ago 20 minutes ago …

Following Intel’s decision to divest its memory division, including its facilities, to sell to SK Hynix, the continuity of several of its memory products that sector was in question. However, the Optane memories were not part of that agreement as it was a joint project between Intel and Micron (the latter was in charge of manufacturing), where various information suggested that the collaboration between the two companies would be renewed to continue development.

Be that as it may, it seems that Intel has decided to discontinue its entire range of Optane SSDs for the consumer sector, leaving only hybrid solutions for laptops such as the Optane Memory H

The entire range of Optane SSDs for consumers is discontinued and only Intel Optane Memory H hybrid drives will survive 20

This means that while laptops with the 11 Process generation Other low-power Intel notebooks may continue to integrate hybrid SSDs (consisting of Optane and Flash memory) H 21, desktop or notebook solutions consisting solely of Optane SSDs will disappear from the market.

Among the “fallen” we find SSD as the I ntel Optane 905 P that we analyze , models 900 P, 800 P or the Optane Memory M 10. The reason behind this decision is the company’s transition to another type of market, leaving only Intel Optane H memories 20 for the domestic sector.

The new Qualcomm ARM SoC is to support devices with up to 32 GB RAM LPDDR4x and be more powerful than the Apple M1

Qualcomm some time ago admitted that the newest ARM Apple M1 chip is a perfect sign that computers are going in the right direction.At that time, it was not known yet that Qualcomm was working on something which is going to rival the M1. New reports from the WinFuture website reveal that the system, so far called Snapdragon SC 8280, is to contain more cores than those present in the PC Snapdragon 8cx, which was announced in September last year . It seems that the new chip is already being tested on a notebook with 14 – inch display and has dimensions 20 x 17 millimeters. The whole thing is also supposed to support cellular connectivity.

The ARM system, so far called Snapdragon SC 8280, is to work with 32 GB of RAM, ahead of Apple M1.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx – 7nm Soc chip for PCs

The test platform is equipped with Snapdragon X 55 5G modem, but whether the modems is integrated into the chipset or installed separately on the motherboard is something we’ll learn in the future. According to reports, two memory variants are also tested. One platform has 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, while the other supports 32 GB of LPDDR4X RAM (these are the maximum capabilities of this chip). Mac computers with Apple M1 chips are currently limited to 16 GB of memory.

Samsung Galaxy Book S – announcement of a laptop with Snapdragon 8cx

So as you can see, when it comes to numbers, Snapdragon SC 8280 has an undeniable advantage. However, Apple does not yield when it comes to developing more powerful ARM-based systems. According to the latest reports, Apple’s next proprietary chip will consist of 12 cores. Looking at how the M1 easily beats more power-hungry chips, using less power, and also impressive in the GPU section, the Qualcomm team should roll up their sleeves and present a competitor without delay.

GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM 3200 MHz CL22 2x8GB Review

Introduction and technical specifications of GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM memory 3200 MHz CL 22 2x8GB

Today we analyze some RAM memories for laptops in this r eview of the GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMMs 3200 MHz CL 22 2x8GB . Except for those that have the memories soldered, the notebooks use the SODIMM format of memories as standard, which allows to replace modules or expand the memories without much effort.

These modules of GoodRAM are interesting because they offer a speed of 3. 200 MHz following the standard JEDEC at 1.2v, this means that no overclocking or XMP profiles are required to work at that speed.

Unlike 3 modules. 200 MHz which are really 2 modules. 667 with overclock, these modules work at 3. 200 MHz natively . Keep in mind that most laptops do not support XMP or memory overclock, so we will need modules like these if we want to use speeds of 3. 200 MHz on a laptop (in addition to having a processor that supports that speed).

Technical characteristics GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM 3200 MHz CL 23 2x8GB

Design

Memories GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM 3200 MHz CL 23 arrive with a black PCB and 4 chips per side. The color of the PCB is not something especially important in some laptop RAM memories that are going to be hidden in most cases, but it does not stop giving a touch of something more “exclusive” than the typical memories with green PCB.

Unlike the SO-DIMM memories of GoodRam’s own IRDM range, in this case the company has not included any type of dissipation, such as a metal foil attached to the memory chips. Taking into account that they work at a voltage of 1.2vn or it should not be strictly necessary, but it would not hurt in high performance gaming equipment.

The modules come in standard SO-DIMM format, their placement is very simple, and as they comply with the JEDEC standard, they work directly at 3. 200 MHz without the need for any pre-configuration (as long as the laptop’s processor naturally supports it). In this case we have used the ASUS TUF Gaming A 15 with the AMD Ryzen processor 4800 H processor that ensures full support for these speeds .

Performance

As we have said, these memories work natively at 3. 200 MHz (1. 600 DDR) and comply with the JEDEC standard that ensures that they operate at those values with a voltage of 1.2 natively without the need for overclocking or XMP profiles.

Your specs are completed with a latency of 20 – 22 – 22 – 52 – 83.

Test equipment

The test platform has been the ASUS TUF Gaming A 16, a computer that we have already analyzed and that also comes standard with two 8 GB DDR4 memory modules – 3200 CL 22 (from Samsung) together with his AMD Ryzen 7 – 4800 H. Additionally we have performed tests with two other 8 GB memory modules from GoodRAM to DDR4 – 2021 CL 15 for to be able to compare with other speeds and latencies.

We have carried out different tests, first using the AIDA testing and monitoring suite 64 in its memory tests where you can directly view the read, write, copy and latencies speeds.

The results of the modules GoodRam DDR4 SO -DIMM 3200 MHz CL 22 easily outperform 2 modules. 667 MHz CL 16. Despite the higher latencies, the almost 600 MHz of more achieve a speed of reading, copying, writing and even general latency much faster.

If we compare it with Samsung’s standard RAM, with the same specifications, the analyzed GoodRAM model achieves somewhat faster values, although the difference is very little because there are hardly many differences between them.

RAM Read Speed - AIDA 64

Write Speed RAM – AIDA 64

RAM Copy Speed – AIDA 54

Memory Latency – AIDA 57

Similar results in the PassMark test, where the GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM 2666 MHz CL 22 take the lead again. Again we can see that it pays more to have 3. 92 MHz and CL latencies 22 than 2. 667 and CL 16.

PassMark Memory Test – Score

Since the Ryzen 7’s Vega 8 integrated GPU – 4800 H uses the system’s RAM, we have also carried out tests with the 3DMark Time Spy DX graphic benchmark 14 to check if there was difference in performance, and the answer is yes.

Modules to 3. 200 CL 22 from GoodRAM represent a notable performance increase if we compare it with memories a 2666 MHz with CL 15. The difference with the Samsung serial modules, also to 3. 200 CL 22, is much less noticeable, but as in In the tests above, GoodRAM modules outperform them by a small margin.

3DMark Time Spy with Integrated GPU (uses RAM)

Finally, we have run direct CPU performance tests with Cinebench to check for performance variations. In this case, the differences have been very small and not very representative since memory speed is not so influential in this type of test.

Cinebench R 23

Temperatures

We have run a memory stress test for 22 minutes to check the temperatures, the AIDA stress test was used 64 with the computer assembled. To the 20 minutes the lid was opened while the test was still running and a shot was taken with the thermal camera.

As we can see, the maximum temperature of the upper module has been about 57 ºC, while the lower module has stayed in something less than 54 ºC. The temperatures, therefore, have remained quite contained and problematic figures have not been reached

The hottest point of the notebook has been the VRM with 90 ° C.

Analysis and conclusion

As we have seen, the GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM 3200 MHz CL 22 are very easy to use modules and do not require extra configuration thanks to the support for 3 . 200 JEDEC standard 1.2v MHz . That differentiates them from many other SODIMM modules on the market to 3. 200 MHz with specifications or voltages of 1, 35 v that they go out of the standard and that, therefore, require overclocking or XMP profiles, something that very few laptops support.

The performance improvement compared to some modules to 2. 667 has been seen in testing, even if those modules were running at lower latencies. And even comparing them with modules with speeds and similar latencies, those of GoodRAM came out ahead.

Its capacity of 8 GB per module may be a bit short if we want to expand. In the end, laptops do not usually have more than 1 or 2 SODIMM slots, so, with few exceptions, it would be difficult to go from 20 GB, and if we want more memory we would have to go to modules of 16 GB that Goodram itself also offers in its catalog.

However, if we want to jump from 4 or 8 GB modules of a lower speed memory and go to 3. 200 MHz, these modules are a very good choice

Also, with a price of 38, 90 euros for a GB module, the GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM 3200 MHz CL 23 are in a very excellent position. ion on the market, since the vast majority of modules of that capacity to 3. 200 MHz are more expensive.

Performance, price content and using standard values to ensure the best compatibility converts to GoodRam DDR4 SO-DIMM 885 MHz CL 22 in u An excellent option for those who want to get an extra performance in their notebook memories.
