So it’s good news that scientists in Switzerland are working on racetrack memory, shock-proof memory that they say is 100,000 times faster and consumes less power than current hard disks.

While newer memory generations have offered faster speeds and greater capacity support, there have been few new features or evolutions of the standard that make a difference all by themselves.

CUDIMM is the latest development in RAM technology, and it comes with some exciting upgrades of standard UDIMM memory.
