Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a leading global provider of memory products, has revealed the upcoming launch of Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs. These modules are designed to be compatible with Intel's new 800-series chipset, previously known as Arrow Lake. The 800-series chipset from Intel is the first platform to utilize Clock Drivers on CUDIMMs (Clocked Unbuffered Dual Inline Memory Modules). With a speed of 6400 MT/s DDR5, JEDEC requires the inclusion of a Client Clock Driver (CKD) on UDIMMs and SODIMMs. This component helps to buffer and redrive the clock signal from the processor, improving signal integrity to the module. To differentiate these advanced modules from standard DDR5 UDIMMs and SODIMMs, JEDEC has labeled them as CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs, respectively.
Kingston FURY Renegade RGB and non-RGB CUDIMM modules will be available starting at an overclocked speed of 8400 MT/s. They come in 24 GB single modules and 48 GB dual channel kits. Since CUDIMMs and UDIMMs share the same 288-pin connector, Kingston FURY UDIMMs with XMP and EXPO profiles are also compatible with Intel 800-series motherboards. However, it is recommended to confirm compatibility through the motherboard manufacturer's QVL (Qualified Vendor List) or by checking the Kingston Configurator for supported speeds and capacities. Kristy Ernt, DRAM business manager at Kingston, stated, "Our new 8400 MT/s CUDIMM modules have undergone extensive testing, have been approved by top motherboard manufacturers, and are Intel XMP certified on the new Intel Z890 motherboards with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. The introduction of overclockable DDR5 CUDIMM modules enables us to cater to a wider range of professionals who require top-tier performance and wish to push the boundaries of their systems without compromising signal integrity."
Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs are set to start shipping on November 18.
