Kingston KVR DDR5 1x16Gb KVR48U40BS8-16

A 16 GB RAM module built on the basis of the new DDR5 memory standard, which was officially introduced back in 2020 and only in 2022 gradually took root on the market. The new format has brought many architectural innovations, thanks to which its performance has already been increased by 1.5-2 times. Out of the box, the device runs at a clock frequency of 4800 MHz with CL40 latency, reduced voltage (1.1 V).

The manufacturer promises increased throughput, which is ahead of any even the most advanced versions of the DDR4 class model. At the same time, Kingston KVR DDR5 1x16Gb belongs to the initial price category, is not included in the profile product series, and is intended for use in entry-level and mid-level office, household and gaming computers that do not plan to overclock the processor, memory and other components.

Against the background of overclocking memory, it stands out with its minimalistic design, the absence of an auxiliary heatsink and an affordable price. It is one of the most affordable options among all DDR5 modules, the cost of which is only a little higher than the fourth generation counterparts. Due to its affordability, it will be an interesting option for a “growth” gaming or work computer assembled on the basis of 12/13th generation Ryzen 7000 and Intel Core processors with a reactive M.2 SSD and a fairly powerful GeForce RTX 3070-level graphics card.
