this disease runs deep and not just in consumer hardware. broadcom has carrier-grade switches called Trident, Tomahawk and Maverick, and, ugh

Branding is ridiculous. The best part is that all of these RAM brands are nearly-identical reference PCB designs built around ICs from one of about three companies. About the only difference is whether there's a heatsink, and what color they anodized it if so.

WTF, RAM has heatsinks now??

yeah. not only it heats up a lot, but DDR4 also has to be retrained each time the temperature changes by more than 20°C or so, which causes a large amount of issues, especially on embedded systems

what's worse is that DDR4 training code is so much of a secret that even Intel could only get it into coreboot as a blob, even when every other part of the firmware is OSS on Tegra, this blob runs on the main Linux as a normal part of the kernel, which is extra hilarious

I really wouldn't mind if they did away with all the stupid names and just told me CORSAIR (WHITE HEATSINKS) HYNIX M DIE 3000CL15 (95%+ BIN), might even pay extra

Oh yeah, getting modern RAM to work at all is just dark magic that requires understanding signal propagation at a nearly atomic level. We were marginally better off when we just attached that shit to a SERDES and let the controller on the DIMM handle it.
