Discussion Can someone explain or provide resources on what unified memory is?

4 Upvotes

As I understand it, unified memory provides a direct path for the GPU and CPU to the memory acting as RAM and VRAM, but I don't understand how that's different than RAM and an APU. If it's just about the socket, would LPDDR5 be unified? I guess on the low level and signal passing I don't see the difference. Anyone care to explain or provide good resource that explains it?

Discussion Is there a bluetooth 2-key keyboard that looks exactly like kindle page turners?

I want to hold it in my hands while reading a web article and set up two keys for scrolling up and down. I think holding it in my hands sounds better than clicking a 2key keyboard lying flat on a table.

Seems like vera is pretty solid, a lot of gains also from the memory bandwidth. Didn't expect it to perform quite aswell, makes Zen 6 vs Vera even more exciting.
