Oxfordshire, UK, March 2026: Direct Insight, the UK-based technical systems integrator focused on system-on-module solutions, can now deliver and support development for the new QSMP-20 solder-down QFN-style SoM (system-on-module), providing a drop-in, pin-compatible upgrade for the QSMP-15 that now features an industrial-grade STM32MP2 MPU . The QSMP-20 also takes advantage of lower cost DDR3 RAM with shorter lead times to avoid the ongoing pressure on DDR4 and DDR5 memory supply, driven by demand from AI infrastructure . “The rapid boom of AI technology is sending shockwaves through the semiconductor memory market,” observes David Pashley, co-founder & Managing Director at Direct Insight . “Skyrocketing demand is ramping up pressure on high performance DDR5 and even DDR4, with prices and lead times spiralling as inventory is bought up and production is shifted to higher-margin high-bandwidth memory .
