Kingston FURY has announced some new additions to its DDR5 memory lineup sporting stylish white heat spreaders, which would pair nicely with builds that incorporate the latest color trend.

Kingston FURY BEAST DDR5 memory sports the new white heat spreader with Kingston FURY BEAST DDR5 RGB adding a dose of lighting with 18 built-in lighting effects that can be tweaked further via Kingston FURY CTRL software.

The main draw here is the additional speed that comes with making the jump to DDR5. Kingston FURY BEAST DDR5 supports plug-and-play speeds of 4800 MT/s, with Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO Certified kits offering overclocking up to 6000 MT/s. Kingston FURY BEAST DDR5 is available in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB single modules, kits of two up to 64GB, with kits of four coming next month.

Kingston FURY represents the high-performance bracket of memory from the veteran hardware company, and its latest lineup of overclockable DDR5 memory is described as "server class." Kingston FURY Renegade Pro DDR5 RDIMMs have been designed for next-gen workstations and high-end desktops, including those built for gaming and content creation.

Though it's not normal to put registered DIMMs in a DIY home build, the new Kingston FURY Renegade Pro DDR5 RDIMMs feature the sort of stuff that makes server-class memory all about data integrity and quality, with the DDR5 Registered DIMMs including on-die ECC within the memory component capable of detecting and correcting errors.

Kingston FURY Renegade Pro DDR5 RDIMMs are plug-and-play with speeds of 4800 MT/s with support for Intel XMP 3.0 kits with speeds of up to 6000 MT/s. Kits are available in single-module capacities up to 32GB or four modules up to 128 GB. There are even kits with eight modules up to 256GB - hence the server-class origins. And the fact that these kits are designed for the Intel W790 platform that includes Xeon W-3400 and W-2400 series "Sapphire Rapids" processors.

It's been a while since we've seen a proper shake-up regarding memory module sizes. We've been in the era of 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB for many years. With the arrival of faster DDR5 memory, we've seen the debut of 24GB and 48GB memory modules. Recently CORSAIR debuted 96GB and 48GB kits in RGB and non-RGB flavors, running at 5,600MT/s and 5,200MT/s. Read our report on that here.

Now CORSAIR offers something for enthusiasts that want nothing but the best (i.e., the fastest) with high performance and capacity 7000MT/s 48GB (2x 24GB) VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 and VENGEANCE DDR5 memory kits. DDR5-7000 with 40-52-52-114 timings is fast, though it is limited to the 24GB modules. The RGB 48GB kit (2x 24GB) is priced at USD 284.99, while the non-RGB kit (2x 24GB) is priced at USD 274.99 - via CORSAIR.

Regarding compatibility, CORSAIR notes that the new high-speed 1.4V DDR5 memory modules support Intel XMP 3.0 for easy installation. It has worked closely with ASUS to ensure they work great across its entire range of new 700 series motherboards for 13th Gen Intel Core processors. Of course, CORSAIR notes that the memory kits are compatible with all Intel 700 series motherboards.

Corsair's new DDR5 RAM kits now come in 192GB configuration kits just in case you need to smash hundreds of Google Chrome tabs.

Corsair today announced its new outrageously huge 192GB DDR5 RAM kits that are designed for high-performance workloads. Corsair's new Vengeance DDR5 RAM modules now come in 24GB and 48GB UDIMM capacities with configurations ranging from 192GB (4x 48GB), 96GB (2x 48GB), or 48GB (2x 24GB) across its base Vengeance and more premium Vengeance RGB lineup.

Corsair says these kits are specifically optimized for ultra-demanding scenarios like 8K video editing and RAM-intensive AI and deep learning applications. The higher-capacity RAM modules are also great for smaller PC builds where DIMM access is limited and allows owners to pack in serious memory capacity in just 2x lanes.

In addition to blistering speed potential that will put it alongside some of the fastest DDR5 memory we've seen, it's built on the highly regarded and high-performing Hynix A-die memory module. Some users have been able to push the SK Hynix A-die to DDR-8600+ speeds with relative ease - leading to the tech being hailed as the fastest memory on the planet.

With 16GB and 32GB kits available, each featuring a slick layer of RGB lighting, the Z-RGB series from NETAC starts at 6200 MT/s CL32 at 1.35V, going up to 8000 MT/s CL38 spec. That will require 1.5V, so it might be limited to certain motherboards. If you're looking at this sort of kit, you're probably rocking a high-end board.

Regarding compatibility, NETAC has stated that the Z-RGB range supports both Intel and AMD, though XMP and EXPO profile support hasn't been confirmed from what we can see. With both overclocking profiles established in the DDR5 space, we'd be surprised if it weren't.

With the arrival of DDR5 technology into the memory space, extreme overclocking of RAM has seen some remarkable results in recent times. And we can add a new world record into the history books today as HiCookie - an in-house overclocker over at GIGABYTE - has managed to push speeds to an incredible DDR5-11136 OC (5567.5 effective), which is over 11 Gb/sec.

The results were achieved on a GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Tachyon motherboard custom-built for extreme memory overclocking thanks to its dual-DIMM design with an Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU.

The memory used was GIGABYTE's own AORUS DDR5-8333 modules, representing some of the fastest DDR5 modules you can get. Well, you will be able to get - these modules are as-yet unreleased.

Micron is introducing new DDR5 memory modules with 24GB and 48GB capacity, opening the door to enthusiast rigs with 48GB or 96GB of dual-channel memory configurations. They also support AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 profiles for easy plug-and-play setup with AMD Ryzen 7000-series and Intel 12th and 13th Gen CPUs.

The new DDR5 memory from Micron (aka Crucial) features data transfer rates of 5200 MT/s and 5600 MT/s, though it's the DDR5-5600 models that will have the new modules. These will be available alongside the standard 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB sticks. As for why? Well, outside of offering more choices and a cheaper way to boost memory without having to go the 64GB or 128GB route, the new module capacities are great for modern CPUs with 16 or 24 cores.

As for what this will bring for gaming or other desktop-heavy tasks remains to be seen; 32 GB is the gold standard and more than enough to run modern games. Still, the AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 support point to these new DDR5 options from Micron/Crucial, targeting the enthusiast PC market. And those building new PCs using the latest AMD and Intel processors.

Samsung has just announced its new GDDR6W memory, which the South Korean giant says was created for "immersive metaverse experiences with powerful graphics memory" or whatever that means.

The new Samsung GDDR6W was created with double the capacity, and performance based on the cutting-edge Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) technology. The new Samsung GDDR6W memory is the industry's first next-gen graphics DRAM technology, building on top of the foundations of Samsung's GDDR6 memory with the new Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) technology, boosting memory bandwidth and capacity.

GDDR6 has been on the market for a while now, with Samsung unleashing faster 24Gbps GDDR6 memory in July 2021, quickly becoming the industry's fastest graphics DRAM. The new GDDR6W modules have bandwidth and capacity that are doubled over GDDR6 while maintaining the identical side of GDDR6 modules.

KLEVV has just introduced its new DDR5 standard U-DIMM and SO-DIMM memory at DDR5-5600 speeds, ready to rock and roll inside of your new Intel "Raptor Lake" or AMD "Zen 4" system.

The new KLEVV DDR5 standard memory is fully compliant with JEDEC standards at DDR5-5600 speeds in both its U-DIMM and SO-DIMM variants: U-DIMM for a desktop PC and SO-DIMM for a laptop. KLEVV is making its new DDR5-5600 memory available in a single 16GB DDR5-5600 as well as a 32GB kit with 2 x 16GB sticks.

KLEVV is aiming its new DDR5 RAM for multiple markets including business, learning, entertainment on desktop and laptops... no mention of gaming systems there in their press release, maybe a hot tip: add that in, because gamers (there would be at lease ONE) that would buy this memory. I mean, come on KLEVV... it doesn't need RGB to be aimed at gamers... I get the entertainment bit. Maybe it's just me.

GIGABYTE has teamed with TEAMGROUP on enabling XMP support for a hefty DDR5-7800 memory on new AORUS Z790-based motherboards, and Intel's new 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" processors.

The new XMP DDR5-7800 memory will work on the Z790 AORUS EXTREME and Z790 AORUS MASTER motherboards with TEAMGROUP T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 memory.

GIGABYTE's new high-end motherboards have new generation Shielded Memory Routing design, exclusive BIOS settings, top-quality components, and an advanced design from hardware to firmware on their motherboards. This is how they've achieved the DDR5-7800 memory support on their new Z790 motherboards.
