    Fury Beast and Fury Renegade...well childlike branding must land sales. Good going Kingston.

    I read it as "Furry" Beast initially. Not a great name.

    I recall it from ~2008 kinda predates the issue and it would feel wired if they renamed because of that after using that name for 15 years...

    Heh, Furry Beast. That would be a great name for DIMMs with a hair-like heatsink comprised of really fine spikes.

    "a hair-like heatsink comprised of really fine spikes."

    don't kid. Hawking figured out that black holes do have spikes, which allows for radiation and which, as a result, means that black holes will eventually evaporate. not in your lifetime, so don't worry.

    > don't kid.

    Huh? Hawking Radiation is so completely random and unrelated to anything here... are you feeling alright?

    Also, not sure where you get the bit about "spikes". And I'm guessing you mean the event horizon, which isn't the black hole, itself. A black hole is a single point and thus can't have "spikes". Rotating black holes are a 2-dimensional disk. Anyway, Hawking Radiation deals with the event horizon.

    "Furry" will be the model with beige-and-brown LEDs. And perhaps Noctua fans.

    I have my heart set on a Furious Renegade Beast with a skull on the side (like Intel SSDs) and black rhinestones.
  • mode_13h - Tuesday, April 4, 2023 - link

    LED-lit rhinestones would be more 'leet.

    One can have LED-lit black rhinestones in blood red.

    I honestly believe there are only two types of buyers for "gaming" RAM. People who only care about the specs and 10-year olds. That's why they market like this.

    Probably mentally childlike yes, but I would be reluctant to assign an age to those buyers.

    Last I checked, their fastest DDR5 ECC UDIMMs were still only 4800 (CL40). I'd much rather see them update those.

    I have no use for gaming memory, though it's nice at least to show what speeds are attainable by current DDR5 dies.

    So your input is that you dont use or care about gaming memory so you are going to waste our time commenting on it?
  • Reflex - Friday, March 31, 2023 - link

    I love all the users who claim to need ECC memory and comment on other types over and over.
  • mode_13h - Tuesday, April 4, 2023 - link

    I don't usually comment on gaming memory articles, but with the memory industry hurting so badly, I thought I'd offer my $0.02 on a market niche that's being underserved and perhaps has more potential than adding yet another gaming product into that already-crowded market segment.

    Plenty of frivolous comments that have nothing to do with actual memory products, and yet you criticize mine? It wasn't a long comment. Easy enough to ignore, but I guess now you're going to have a second comment to waste your time ignoring.

    The purpose of my comment was on the 0.1% chance anyone from Kingston or their competitors reads this, they might give a thought to updating their ECC UDIMM offering to match the supported memory speeds of Raptor Lake and Ryzen 7000.
