Kingston Announces High-Performance CUDIMM Memory for Intel’s Latest Platform

TL;DR:

• Kingston launches Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs for Intel’s 800-series chipset.
• CUDIMMs offer enhanced signal integrity with speeds starting at 8400MT/s.
• Available in 24GB single modules and 48GB dual-channel kits.
• Compatible with Intel Z890 motherboards and Core Ultra processors.

Kingston Technology, a leading innovator in memory products, has announced the upcoming release of its high-performance Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM memory modules. These modules are specifically designed for compatibility with Intel’s latest 800-series chipset, formerly known as Arrow Lake.

A New Era for Memory Technology

The Intel 800-series chipset marks a significant shift in memory technology with the introduction of Clock Drivers on CUDIMMs (Clocked Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules). Previously, at speeds exceeding 6400MT/s DDR5, JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) mandated the inclusion of a Client Clock Driver (CKD) only on UDIMMs (Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules) and SODIMMs (Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Modules). This CKD plays a crucial role in buffering and strengthening the clock signal transmitted from the processor, ensuring optimal signal integrity for the memory module.

To distinguish these advanced CUDIMMs from standard DDR5 UDIMMs and SODIMMs, JEDEC has implemented a new naming convention. CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs (Server SODIMMs) now represent modules equipped with a Client Clock Driver.

Unleashing Peak Performance

Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM modules cater to professionals demanding top-tier performance from their systems. Offered in both RGB and non-RGB variants, these modules boast impressive overclocked speeds starting at a remarkable 8400MT/s. Users can choose between 24GB single modules or 48GB dual-channel kits to tailor their memory configuration to their specific needs.

While CUDIMMs share the same physical connection as UDIMMs (288-pin), it’s essential to ensure compatibility. Kingston recommends verifying compatibility through the motherboard manufacturer’s QVL (Qualified Vendor List) or utilizing the Kingston Configurator tool for supported speeds and capacities.

“Our new 8400MT/s CUDIMM modules have undergone rigorous testing,” says Kingston. “They are not only qualified by leading motherboard manufacturers but also Intel XMP certified for seamless operation with the new Intel Z890 motherboards paired with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors.”

Availability and Conclusion

Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM modules are expected to begin shipping in early December. With their exceptional performance capabilities and compatibility with Intel’s latest platform, these modules offer a compelling solution for users seeking to push their system’s performance boundaries.
