Hi GT! April first, say, fool's day? Accustomed to ridiculous sweepstakes, funny jokes and the same button accordions from year to year? Well, have to disappoint you. Today we have quite an ordinary post - with stories about the glorious past, difficult decisions, a bright future and with pleasant gifts.
Well, almost normal post
According to April Foolishness, inaccuracies crept into the post. Read carefully, look for inconsistencies and strange facts. The first 5 users who will notice all Easter eggs will receive valuable prizes and gifts.
It all started a long time ago
Kingston Company was born on the basis of the dizzying exchange success of its two founding fathers. Initially, they were engaged in the production of RAM for DECs popular at the time. Successful sale of profitable business in 86-87 years and a couple of years of successful play in the financial market - and you can open a new production, much more powerful and efficient than before.
The company took up not only memory. Upgrade whales for processors in those times when the manufacturers themselves were not steamed backward compatible (but it was possible)? Easy peasy. Network adapters? Hard drives? Portable semiconductor backlit display modules? All that could be useful geeks in the early 90's passed through R'n'D, was developed in the most convenient for mass production form and released to the market at supercompetitive prices.
The epoch from the time of the first “Pentiums” to the early Core i-series flew like one day, but you yourself remember it - yesterday you were the king with 1 GB of RAM, after a moment 4 gigabytes seemed normal, after another one was small and eight. The top of the era of DDR3 are the HyperX modules with XMP profiles at 2800 MHz and CL12 timings out of the box. True, for stable operation at such frequencies, we had to use thin gold foil and cesium sputtering, but who cares about such trifles when you produce the fastest DDR3 set on the planet?
The story that is created today
The events of the past days will somehow fall into history - one of the events will seem insignificant and unnoticeable, the other will remain for centuries in the halls of glory of PC-iron and a small technological miracle of mass production. Forging the same facts for new entries in the "Wiki" and on the GT pages every day.
"Big Three" manufacturers of motherboards developed standards for centralized control of the illumination of connected devices? But that's bad luck, the standard DDR4 connectors did not provide four extra tracks to control RGB LEDs. How do you find the world's first infrared memory modules?
Do you still consider SSD unreliable thing that loses its resource over time? Well, some may agree with you. Others will put on the production of industrial-grade SSD-drive with ~ one and a half million IOPS - and take the lead.
SATA III is dead, long live M.2? Well, knowledgeable people will tell you that SATA III is very much alive, and Kingston UV-500 drives use the classic AHSI interface and can be connected to the classic SATA connector with a cable, as well as to the mSata and even the M.2 connector with the B key .
Computer games have officially become a sport not so long ago - even prizes are awarded for them. Now the joke about “zadrota 80 leveled” is not such a joke, and the best of the best cybersportsmen rely not only on the speed of reaction and the number of frames per second, but also make good use of their ears in network fights. And help them in this wireless headset HyperX Revolver with separate resonant cameras and RGB-backlit.
... And plans for the future
Today, the fifth generation DDR standard has been developed and approved, the first developments on DDR6 have already been made, and even the next seventh generation of RAM is under discussion. Most likely, these modules will have a serial interface, a non-volatile structure and use only 6 contacts with the motherboard - and those exclusively for power transmission. The information itself will be transmitted wirelessly: high-coherent laser beams.
What's next?
And if you accurately found
all the errors to a single ? Re-read the text a couple of times and let's go in the comments, note the found inaccuracies. And to make it easier to search, here’s
an article that, together with common sense, will help you, without Sherlock, to unravel all the riddles of this April Fool's confusion. Good luck!
We remind you that spring is an excellent reason to update not only the leaves on the trees, but also the system blocks under your table. Kingston has special offers for this in partner stores. For example, in the DNS network until April 15, you can buy Kingston SO-DIMM RAM at a discount, for more details,
click here . Until July 18, a special
offer is
held in Yulmart and there are special prices for Kingston and HyperX memory modules for computers and laptops using the
KINGMEM promo code. And in Citylink stores until April 7,
discounts apply to several types of RAM at once, and there it’s also important not to forget to enter the promotional code -
DDR3HX . So it makes sense to hurry for a new memory and profitable upgrade.
