Randomized Caches in HW: Overheads And Limitations (RUB, Max Planck, Georgia Tech)

Researchers from Ruhr University Bochum, the Max Planck Institute, and Georgia Tech have assessed the practical trade-offs involved in implementing randomised caches in hardware. The technique mitigates side-channel security threats by masking the correlation between memory addresses and physical cache positions. The authors note that while previous proposals tackled architectural behaviour, physical hardware implementation obstacles have remained largely unaddressed.

Apple faces unprecedented memory cost increases as RAM prices continue to surge, manufacturing bill climbs by $33 billion

Surging procurement of high-bandwidth and server memory by AI data centre operators has prompted Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron to reallocate production lines towards premium enterprise products. This pivot has restricted the market availability of standard DRAM and NAND flash, driving up bill-of-materials costs by tens of billions of dollars for consumer electronics firms including Apple. The resulting supply squeeze is placing heavy financial pressure on device makers across the industry.
