Biwin M560 2TB SSD Review: The DRAM-less drive to beat

Biwin has released the M560 2TB solid-state drive, leveraging Silicon Motion's SM2504XT controller to provide strong consumer storage efficiency. Testing indicates top-tier responsiveness and low power draw for a DRAM-less design, despite tapering performance once internal cache limits are breached. The product represents a competitive entry in current client storage hardware.

Intel shifts production capacity from consumer to server CPUs in face of 'unprecedented' AI demand

Intel is reallocating manufacturing resources from client processors towards enterprise server silicon in response to heightened artificial intelligence workloads. The chipmaker is expanding fabrication and advanced packaging operations across facilities in the United States, Ireland, and Malaysia. This strategic pivot addresses persistent supply bottlenecks and declining personal computer sales while capitalising on robust data centre demand.
