The new Intel 12th gen CPUs and Z690 motherboards introduced consumers to the new faster DDR5 generation of RAM.
DDR5 is now also being used on the latest 12th gen Intel laptops. Most of the laptops launching with DDR5 are premium priced and already come with DDR5 running at 4800MT/s. However, Kingston is staying ahead of the curve with the launch of their FURY Impact DDR5 SODIMMs.
These SODIMMs come in capacities of:
- Singles: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB
- Kit of 2: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB
They then run at 4800MT/s with latencies of CL38.
Pricing and availability haven’t been released yet but I doubt there is a huge demand for them until more laptops start using DDR5.
