Kingston Technology has announced that it is sending overclockable DDR5 modules to partner motherboard manufacturers to start the testing and compliance process of the next generation memory platform. The new Kingston DDR5 modules have Intel XMP profiles, but allow motherboard manufacturers to manually adjust the integrated power management circuit (PMIC) beyond 1.1V DDR5 standards. This allows for maximum flexibility in overclocking. Kingston plans to launch new DDR5 solutions in the third quarter.
Verifying memory in this way requires the cooperation of the entire computing ecosystem. Throughout its 33-year history, Kingston has worked closely with leading motherboard and chipset manufacturers. This new step marks a significant milestone before the company launches its high-performance and overclockable memory solutions later this year.
Kingston has rigorously tested every module, chip and cell it has produced for more than three decades. With a lifetime warranty and unparalleled customer service support, this methodical testing process has transformed Kingston into the world’s third-largest third-party memory manufacturer with a market share of over 80%. Kingston has long been a member of JEDECin, the management unit of the microelectronics industry. Kingston, who has been on the JEDEC board for more than a decade, is likely to help set industry standards that all manufacturers follow.
