Samsung Electronics has expanded its DDR5 DRAM memory portfolio with a 512GB DDR5 module based on high-K metal gate (HKMG) process technology. Delivering more than twice the performance of DDR4 at up to 7,200Mbps, the new DDR5 will be capable of orchestrating the most extreme compute-hungry, high-bandwidth workloads in supercomputing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), as well as data analytics applications. Samsung indicated the new DDR5 utilizes highly advanced HKMG technology that has been traditionally used in logic semiconductors. With continued scaling down of DRAM structures, the insulation layer has thinned, leading to a higher leakage current. By replacing the insulator with HKMG material, Samsung's DDR5 will be able to reduce the leakage and reach new heights in performance. This new memory will also use approximately 13% less power, making it especially suitable for datacenters where energy efficiency is becoming increasingly critical. Leveraging through-silicon via (TSV) technology, Samsung's DDR5 stacks eight layers of 16Gb DRAM chips to offer the largest capacity of 512GB. TSV was first utilized in DRAM in 2014 when Samsung introduced server modules with capacities up to 256GB.

LG Electronics has introduced the V60 ThinQ dual-screen smartphone featuring 5G connectivity, upgraded audio, video and photo capabilities. The V60 comes features two rear cameras and a time of flight (ToF) sensor array - a 64MP main camera lens for sharper, brighter images and a 13MP wide angle lens. The V60 supports 8K video recording. Four high-performance microphones allow for recording sounds from various directions, according to the vendor. The device also offers Voice Bokeh, a feature that separates users' voices from background noise, allowing content creators to place more focus on the subject while reducing excess noise. Also included is the LG 3D Sound Engine, an audio processing technology first introduced on LG OLED TVs. It recognizes the type of content and optimizes the sound accordingly for a more cinematic quality. The V series device comes with a 5,000mAh battery and Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G modem. Both the main and second screens are 20.5:9 ratio 6.8-inch FHD+ P-OLED displays.

Apple's AirPods Pro features Active Noise Cancellation and immersive sound in a new lightweight, in-ear design. Active Noise Cancellation on the AirPods Pro uses two microphones combined with advanced software to continuously adapt to each individual ear and headphone fit. This removes background noise to provide a uniquely customized, superior noise-canceling experience that allows users to focus on what they are listening to. The first microphone is outward-facing and detects external sound to analyze environmental noise. The AirPods Pro then creates an equivalent anti-noise that cancels out background noise before it reaches the listeners' ears. A second inward-facing microphone listens toward the ear, and the AirPods Pro cancels remaining noise detected by the microphone. Noise cancellation continuously adapts the sound signal 200 times per second, said Apple
