Essencore KLEVV at Computex 2024: Slick Understated Styling
KLEVV by Essencore had a formidable lineup of high-end gaming PC memory and SSDs at Computex 2024. We were greeted at the booth with an Essencore-branded LPCAMM2 module with 32 GB density, and LPDDR5-8533 speeds on tap. The Genuine G560 (it's named Genuine) is a modern M.2 NVMe Gen 5 SSD with a fanless heatsink. It comes in capacities of 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB; with sequential speeds ranging between 13 GB/s to 14 GB/s reads, and 9.5 GB/s to 12 GB/s writes; and depending on the capacity, the endurance is between 700 TBW to 3000 TBW. The CRAS C930 is a premium M.2 Gen 4 SSD, with 1 TB and 2 TB models available, sequential read speeds of up to 7.4 GB/s, and sequential write speeds between 6.4 GB/s to 6.8 GB/s. Endurance ranges between 750 TBW for the 1 TB model, and 1500 TBW for the 2 TB.
At the value end of KLEVV's SSD lineup is the CRAS C925, which offers mostly similar performance numbers to the C930, but with slightly different endurance ratings. It ranges between 500 GB and 2 TB; with the same 7.4 GB/s maximum read speeds, but slightly lower maximum write speeds of 6.2 GB/s for the 500 GB model, 6.3 GB/s for the 1 TB, and 6.5 GB/s for the 2 TB model; and endurance rated at 600 TBW, 1200 TBW, and 2400 TBW, respectively.The memory lineup begins with the bare module CKD series that offer JEDEC-standard speeds of DDR5-5600 and DDR5-4800, and is sold under the main Essencore brand. The KLEVV CRAS V RGB is a Red Dot winning enthusiast-segment DDR5 memory series, with a solid aluminium heatspreader, and an elegantly executed RGB LED diffuser. It comes in two trims—obsidian black and brilliant white. Both are ASUS ROG certified. Densities include 2x 16 GB, 2x 24 GB, and 2x 32 GB for the DDR5-6000 and DDR5-6400 models; 2x 16 GB and 2x 24 GB for the DDR5-7200, DDR5-7600, and DDR5-8000 models; and 2x 24 GB for the DDR5-8200 and DDR5-8400 models.
The KLEVV CRAS XR5 RGB series has slightly more RGB bling from the slightly extruded silicone RGB diffuser. Speeds include DDR5-6000, DDR5-6200, DDR5-7000, DDR5-7200, and DDR5-8000; with densities of 2x 16 GB, 2x 24 GB, and 2x 32 GB for the DDR5-6000 and DDR5-6200 models; 2x 16 GB and 2x 24 GB for the DDR5-7000, DDR5-7200, and DDR5-8000 models.The KLEVV BOLT V series are mid-range, and lack LED lighting. Speeds include DDR5-6000, DDR5-6400, DDR5-6800, and DDR5-7200; and densities include 2x 16 GB, 2x 24 GB, and 2x 32 GB. Lastly, there's the KLEVV FIT V series, with some mainstream speeds, of DDR5-5600, DDR5-6000, and DDR5-6400; with 1x 16 GB and 2x 16 GB densities. This is almost a bare module with a basic heatspreader.
