At Computex this week, Leo checked in with Kingston to get a look at all of the new SSDs and memory modules hitting the market. One of the biggest surprises for us was the unveiling of the new Kingston Fury CAMM2 module, bringing memory to desktop PCs in a whole new format.

Upon entering the Kingston booth, we immediately get a look at a server rack, housing a stack of Kingston Server Premier DDR5 memory, and Kingston's Data Center-class SSDs.

Moving on to consumer-oriented tech, we have Kingston's new Fury Renegade G5 SSD. This is Kingston's latest PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD, offering speeds of up to 14,800MB/s, putting it in the upper echelon of PCIe 5 SSDs in terms of speed. We reviewed this drive just recently, so you can find a whole bunch of benchmarks and performance metrics there.

Moving on to RAM, we have the Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 line-up, offering up to 6800MHz speeds and up to 128GB capacity. Kingston also has CUDIMM DDR5 memory on show, which Leo has used in Intel Arrow Lake-based systems before. These modules offer up to 8800MT/s speeds and utilise Infrared Sync technology to keep the RGB lighting uniform across all modules.

Finally, we get to the new Kingston Fury Beast CAMM2 memory module. This is a prototype based on the new CAMM2 standard, running on a prototype Aorus motherboard. These CAMM2 modules are capable of housing up to 128GB of memory. While we were anticipating CAMM2 memory to take over the laptop market, it seems that vendors are also working on desktop variations. Unfortunately, we don't know when CAMM2 devices will become available to the general public, but Leo reckons 2026 could be the year.
