Comment on Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments | Tom's Hardware
is datacenter ram really not usable on personal PC’s? I figured it was the same as consumer ram but with ECC features.
They’re using the new SOCAMM standard, which current consumer hardware can’t use.
It’s a different physical interface.
Whether it will end up coming to consumer grade motherboards… 🤷♂️
If it’s just a physical connector and doesn’t require a special CPU, then I could see motherboard makers making that switch if there’s a glut of the memory available.
man that sucks.
