Kingston were showing off their 8x8GB DDR4 kit at CES claiming a world first for a 3GHz 64GB kit:
No word on price, but DDR4 isn’t cheap and the highest speed kit will be expensive on top of that.The more important launch was the M.2 Predator SSD:
It can also come with an adapter to mount it in a pcie slot:
The drive was also built into a Lian Li/ROG rig complete with EK blocks.
These new M.2 drives are really going to usher in the next level of ssd performance. However traditional SSDs were also represented with a new Hyper X drive:
There was also two new headsets continuing the Hyper X brand, while these are 7.1 units, they are not 7.1 DTS, nor do they have individual drivers. They did sound pretty good though, and playing a few game demos showed pretty good sound positioning. There’s also an inline remote to turn surround on or off, mic mutes and volume:
We got to walk away with one, so we’ll be doing a more full review soon.
Lastly we saw a cool streaming box that lets you plug in some kind of storage device such as USB or SD card and streams music or movies. It can also plug into a LAN and generate a wifi hotspot:
It’s cool but my only wish was that at this size it should include some internal storage of its own. Adding in 128gb of internal flash storage would make it a lot more desirable to me.
