(PR) SK hynix Starts Mass Production of World's First 321-High NAND

SK hynix Inc. announced today that it has started mass production of the world's first triple level cell-based 321-high 4D NAND Flash with 1 Tb capacity. Following its previous record as the industry's first provider of the world's highest 238-layer NAND since June last year, SK hynix has become the world's first supplier of the NAND with more than 300 layers by finding a technological breakthrough for stacking. The company plans to provide the 321-high products to customers from the first half of next year.

Stacking more than 300 layers came into reality as the company successfully adopted the "3 plugs" process technology. Known for its excellent production efficiency, the process electrically connects three plugs through an optimized follow-up process after three times of plug processes are finished. For the process, SK hynix developed a low-stress material, while introducing the technology that automatically corrects alignments among the plugs. Read full story

(PR) New Ultrafast Memory Boosts Intel Data Center Chips

While Intel's primary product focus is on the processors, or brains, that make computers work, system memory (that's DRAM) is a critical component for performance. This is especially true in servers, where the multiplication of processing cores has outpaced the rise in memory bandwidth (in other words, the memory bandwidth available per core has fallen). In heavy-duty computing jobs like weather modeling, computational fluid dynamics and certain types of AI, this mismatch could create a bottleneck—until now.

After several years of development with industry partners, Intel engineers have found a path to open that bottleneck, crafting a novel solution that has created the fastest system memory ever and is set to become a new open industry standard. The recently introduced Intel Xeon 6 data center processors are the first to benefit from this new memory, called MRDIMMs, for higher performance—in the most plug-and-play manner imaginable.

Add LDAP Login to PHP Webpage


So you have an LDAP server and you'd like to add authentication to a PHP based website. Well you have came to the right place! I started hosting my own mail server (Don't ask) and used LDAP for authentication so it made sense to create a website with LDAP and webmail/roundcube as well. I will go over step by step instructions on how to get this set up including code snippets. You will need to modify the code to fit your environment but my guide should get you most of the way there!

Assassin's Creed Shadows Animus Hub Rumors Quashed As Ubisoft Breaks Silence, Denies

Assassin's Creed Shadows is seemingly not out of hot water with gamers just yet, although this time, the flak seems to have been mostly unwarranted. Earlier this week, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1grbg48/information_and_assets_of_the_upcoming_animus_hub/" target="_blank">rumors popped up on Reddit</a> claiming to reveal the Assassin's Creed Shadows Animus Hub, which was supposedly the upcoming RPG's dedicated launcher, and a host of in-game season passes and rewards. The leak purports to detail the first free battle pass, which is referred to as &quot;Eye in the Dark&quot; and will consist of 20 reward tiers. Completing the battle pass allegedly rewards 9,050 Isu coins, which can be used to purchase various cosmetics in the form of character, weapon, and mount customization options. Somewhat comically, there appear to be in-game collaborations with the likes of VISA, Red Bull, Intel, BAPE Clothing and Sprecher, although how these will play out in the game is a mystery. This news made quite a stir when it was first announced, since Ubisoft was very clear when it confirmed the game's delay last month that there would be no season passes in Assassin's Creed Shadows. <br />
<br />
As it turns out, though, the rumors were kicking up enough speculation about the return of paid subscriptions, battle passes, and season passes that Ubisoft took to its official <a rel="nofollow" href="https://discord.com/channels/215838530889318401/563729268690124810/1307050839243886593" target="_blank">Discord</a> server to address the rumors directly. Although Ubisoft confirmed that the Animus Hub is a piece of software it has been working on, all the content and rewards offered in the Animus Hub will be free content. Ubisoft was, however, careful with its words, not denying the existence of season passes and battle passes, instead only commenting that those passes will not be paid. Additionally, Ubisoft confirmed that there will be additional in-game content available for free in the Animus Hub.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/xVhEKRsJUTNJDWgw.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/xVhEKRsJUTNJDWgw_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ujmIXPwSTB8Eq02f.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="700" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ujmIXPwSTB8Eq02f_thm.jpg" width="95" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mDcq8DKEwlQiOj3X.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/mDcq8DKEwlQiOj3X_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/328866/assassins-creed-shadows-animus-hub-rumors-quashed-as-ubisoft-breaks-silence-denies-paid-battle-pass-allegations">Read full story</a></div>
