Kingston FURY DDR5 CAMM2 Module, FURY Renegade, and FURY Beast Memory Products at Computex 2024
Kingston at the 2024 Computex showed us their latest gaming and overclocking PC memory products, under its FURY brand. The star attraction here, is the FURY Impact DDR5 CAMM2 module. Kingston is partnering with MSI to bring this standard to the gaming PC space, as part of its new Project Zero ecosystem. A DDR5 CAMM2 is basically a dual-channel (4 sub-channel) DDR5 memory-on-a-stick. The module has wiring for both the channels and all four sub-channels, and a total of two ranks (1R/DPC). The module sits on a land-grid, just like the processor, and is held in place by a series of screws. When installed, a CAMM2 looks a lot more discreet than a bunch of DIMMs that stick out perpendicularly to the plane of the motherboard.
Kingston DDR5 CAMM2 will come in typical dual-channel capacities, such as 32 GB; with typical speeds. The CAMM2 standard was originally designed for mainstream notebooks and mini-PC desktops, but MSI adapted it to an ATX desktop motherboard with its Project Zero backside connectivity. Next up, we have the FURY Renegade RGB DDR5 series, with its high DDR5 speeds, and plenty of RGB bling. Densities range between 16 GB (1x 16 GB) to 96 GB (2x 48 GB), with popular densities along the way, such as 2x 16 GB, and 2x 24 GB. Speeds range between DDR5-6000, all the way till DDR5-8000 (with XMP 3.0).The Kingston FURY Beast also has some RGB lighting, but is a more mid-range product. Densities range between 1x 16 GB till 4x 32 GB (for workstations), and speeds between DDR5-4800 to DDR5-6800. This supports both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO. Both the FURY Beast and FURY Renegade get 18-preset internal RGB lighting controls.

I see it's dual channel on 1 module now. Saw more pics online.
It certainly would spell an absolute end of the previously typical upgrade plan of "buy n GB now, upgrade with n GB later", though I suppose that's already mostly dead with the difficulties of 2DPC DDR5 setups. Considering that motherboard manufacturers have been upgrading their BIOS to support 256GB of RAM for a while, I've been wondering the same.
