In my case, that magic happens in the intense moment of anticipation just before a rugby game begins. It’s the calm before the storm before the ball is first kicked.

The new modules are double the max capacity of existing DDR4 and offer up to 7,200Mbps in data transfer rate, double that of conventional DDR4. The memory will be able to handle high-bandwidth workloads in applications such as supercomputing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data…
