SK Hynix DDR5 RAM might still be a year away

Talk around machine learning and big data usually involve processors, be it CPUs or GPUs, and storage technologies that it's almost too easy to take RAM, a.k.a. memory, for granted. Of course, all these pieces work together to deliver the performance demanded by such applications but, compared to the other two, development in the RAM space seems almost to be at a standstill. SK Hynix, a name you don't usually associate with consumer memory modules, is now breaking the ice with the industry's first DDR5 DRAM which you might not be able to get your hands on until next year.
