The high-end component you bought just yesterday will soon be replaced by one newer and better in a few short months.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some technologies to look out for in the coming months:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Corsair Force series GS SSDs<\/h3>\n<p>Corsair has recently unveiled a new line of SSD drives that should hit out shores within a few months. Known as the Force Series GS, the company has paired Toggle NAND flash memory (which is faster than asynchronous and synchronous flash) with the Sandforce SF-2200 controller found in many high-end SSD drives.<\/p>\n<p>The Toggle flash has impressive random read\/write performance, a weak point of most SSDs. The drive is capable of 90,000 random IOPS, with 559MB\/s read and 533MB\/s write speeds on the ATTO 4K read write disk benchmark.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41125\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Corsair-Force-Series-GS.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41125\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41125\" title=\"Corsair Force Series GS SSD\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Corsair-Force-Series-GS.png\" alt=\"Corsair Force Series GS SSD\" width=\"600\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Corsair-Force-Series-GS.png 600w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Corsair-Force-Series-GS-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Corsair-Force-Series-GS-250x172.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-41125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corsair Force Series GS SSD<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">DDR 4 RAM<\/h3>\n<p>Have you just bought a new Intel Ivy Bridge, Sandy Bridge-E or AMD Bulldozer system with DDR3 memory in it? Well prepare to feel outdated, DDR4 RAM should hit the market in Q4 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung demonstrated its first DDR4 chips in early 2011, and since then other manufacturers such as Micro have jumped on board. RAM modules that conform to the Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council (JEDEC) DDR4 draft specification have also been demoed, built on a 30nm process and operating at 1.2v (as opposed to 1.35v or 1.5v of current DDR3 ram).<\/p>\n<p>3.2Gbit\/s speeds and capacities of up to 32GB have also been spotted, however you shouldn\u2019t get too worried just yet, there aren\u2019t any consumer systems that can make use of the RAM as yet, so you still have a few months of bragging rights left.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41126\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Samsung-DDR-4-RAM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41126\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41126\" title=\"Samsung DDR 4 RAM\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Samsung-DDR-4-RAM.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung DDR 4 RAM\" width=\"600\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Samsung-DDR-4-RAM.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Samsung-DDR-4-RAM-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Samsung-DDR-4-RAM-250x122.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-41126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Samsung DDR 4 RAM<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Intel Ivy Bridge-E<\/h3>\n<p>They day you can buy an Intel system without something bigger and better being just around the corner is the day the Mayans were actually trying to predict instead of the doomsday.
