On the other hand, the Radeon RX 7600 XT will come with higher clocks, higher power with 190 W TDP, which now require two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. In case you missed it, AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT comes with Navi 33 XT GPU and has the same 2048 Stream Processors as the previously available Radeon RX 7600 graphics card. With the release of AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT set for January 24th, we expect a lot of custom versions from the usual AMD AIB partners, and XFX is coming with two of its own versions, the RX 7600 XT SWFT 210 and the RX 7600 XT QICK 309. Below, you can see the liquid metal droplet that is the FlexRAM breakthrough. But by proving a fluid-state memory device possible, the technology flows toward a radically different future for electronics and computation. There are still challenges to solve before FlexRAM and liquid electronics can transform computing.

It joins a wave of pioneering flexible electronics research attaining more flexibility than rigid silicon allows. While still in the early conceptual stages, FlexRAM proves that computing and memory innovations that were once thought impossible or fanciful can become real through relentless scientific creativity. Compatibility with stretchable substrates unlocks enormous potential for emerging technologies. The researchers envision applications from soft robotics, medical implants, and flexible wearable devices.

The millimeter-scale metal droplets could eventually reach nanometer sizes, dramatically increasing memory density.įlexRAM represents a breakthrough in circuits and electronics that can freely bend and flex. Commercial RAM is rated for millions of read/write cycles. It has demonstrated over 3,500 write cycles, though further endurance improvements are needed for practical use. The current FlexRAM prototype consists of 8 independent 1-bit memory units, storing a total of 1 byte. Even when powered off, data persists in the inert liquid for 43,200 seconds (or 12 hours). This allows the reversible switching between high and low resistance states corresponding to bit 1s and 0s for data storage. Applying voltage pulses oxidizes or reduces the metal, mimicking neuron polarization. The innovative approach suspends droplets of gallium-based liquid metal in a soft biopolymer material. Researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing have developed FlexRAM, the first fully flexible resistive RAM memory built using liquid metal.
