Meta has developed a technology called Vistara that removes DDR4 memory from older servers and installs it in new servers, using its own CXL chip to share memory between applications without latency problems, The Register reported. A Meta paper said about 40% of its servers, or millions of machines, cannot expand memory. Meta said the approach cut incidents of work stopping due to memory shortages by 33%.

A surge in PC memory prices in the first half may lose momentum in the second half, a forecast said. Asus expects any additional price increases to be limited to the single digits after earlier steep rises, citing stabilising memory and storage costs and weaker tolerance for further big hikes. Markets are also watching whether SK Hynix may slow HBM output growth and raise production of commodity DRAM, potentially easing shortages and price pressure for consumer DDR5 memory.
