Hard drives, often treated as a legacy technology, are once again being pulled into the spotlight.

With DDR5 RAM prices skyrocketing, some mid-range laptops could soon ship with budget-level specs. TrendForce expects companies like Dell and Lenovo to stock more notebooks with 8GB of memory. These reasonably priced options may no longer handle intense office and gaming tasks.

In the semiconductor industry, dominated by the expensive EUV lithography technology, an alternative is emerging on the horizon. Japanese companies Canon and Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) are actively developing a nanoimprint method. They estimate it will enable the creation of chips with 1.4-nanometer features at significantly lower costs.

A collaborative research team has demonstrated what it says is the first monolithic 3D integrated circuit manufactured at a commercial U.S. foundry.

Samsung is reportedly preparing to wind down its SATA SSD business, and a notable hardware leaker warns the move could have broader implications for consumer storage pricing than Micron’s decision to end its Crucial RAM lineup. The report suggests reduced supply and short-term price pressure may follow as the market adjusts.

I hope I look this good in 30 years time.
