Apple's UMA design -- a single, fixed pool of RAM integrated into the die with the CPU, GPU and NPU -- makes Mac and MacBook configuration choices a little different than it used to be.

The portion of a computer’s RAM that is used by a hardware device such as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), sound card, network adapter, and other hardware components is known as Hardware Reserved.

A subtle tweak to how RAM keeps time is paving the way for higher memory speeds. Here's what that means for you.

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.
