It may also work on other types of dynamic random access memory that have become popular recently.
“The data center development lab to be built in Seoul will play a role in verifying and certifying the compatibility of DRAM supplied to Intel CPUs,” an insider in the chip business sector commented. “Intel is expected to enjoy stronger cooperation with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which make DRAM, through the lab.”
