Since we started to know about DDR5 standard, it became clear that we should expect a significant jump in performance compared to its predecessor, DDR4, which is still the majority option today. And we know that, with the jump to the ZEN 4 architecture, AMD will bet exclusively on this new standard. Intel, on the other hand, will still allow the use of DDR4 with Raptor Lake, although it will “push” manufacturers and assemblers to go mostly for DDR5, probably with the intention of eliminating DDR4 support next year with Meteor Lake. .
This future perspective, added to the improvement that the semiconductor market has been experiencing for a few months, is leading to us seeing a significant drop in the prices of DDR5 memory, something that was essential to accelerate its adoption. But not only that, just as we can already find cheaper DDR5 memory than ever, manufacturers are also bringing new models of higher performance memory to the market, designed to squeeze the most out of what the standard specifications allow.
Such is the case of Kingston, which has just introduced its Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 and Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB memoriesa premium proposal, aimed at users who are looking for the best possible performance, and for this purpose do not hesitate to resort to overclocking, but who want to practice it safely, without compromising the stability of their systems and without complex and risky configuration systems. .
When it comes to performance, Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 modules are capable of delivering speeds of up to 6,400 mega transmissions per second (MT/s)worth CAS latency as low as 32 (32CL). And to provide greater reliability, they have on-chip ECC verification (On-Die ECC), as well as with two independent 32-bit subchannels, which improves the efficiency of data management with multi-core processors.
If we talk about overclocking, more specifically about comfort and security, the Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 and DDR5 RGB are Intel XMP 3.0 certified, that is, users will be able to access speed and voltage settings previously configured at the factory, so that it will only be necessary to choose the desired mode and start using it. But for the more adventurous, Kingston’s FURY Renegade DDR5 memory features a programmable PMIC for XMP 3.0, which supports up to two customizable profiles that will be saved directly to the DIMM.
You will have deduced the difference between both models, without a doubt, from their name, and that is that Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 RGB modules feature RGB lighting dynamic and customizable, which we can control through Kingston FURY CTRL or the motherboard manufacturer’s RGB software. Additionally, they are also compatible with Kingston FURY Infrared Sync technology, which allows them to be synchronized with other elements via infrared.
