- 1New Linux CRAM method claims 452x compressed memory speedup▼New Linux tech compresses memory in RAM, as RAM, for 452x speedup
A new Linux technique called CRAM compresses memory in RAM and reads it as RAM, delivering a claimed 452x speedup for compressed memory reads, according to Tom's Hardware. The approach promises major performance gains for systems relying on compressed swap, such as memory-constrained servers and low-RAM devices. Developers and enthusiasts are debating how the numbers were measured and what workloads benefit.
- 2Bazzite PC maxes out Ethernet where Xbox fell short●I have my BazziteOS machine plugged into the same Ethernet cable I used to plug my Xbox into. Steam regularly maxes out
