Through its gaming brand HyperX, Kingston today announced the launch of new and refreshed DDR4 memory modules: FURY DDR4 RGB and PREDATOR DDR4 RGB. A gaming keyboard: Alloy Origins, a stand-up microphone for both the professional market and gamers: the Quadcast S. And wireless headphones: the Cloud Stinger Core Wireless.

HyperX presents its new range of products for gaming with a new, differentiated complete range of products of all kinds, from DDR4 memory to wireless headphones, through a gaming keyboard and a microphone stand.

HyperX FURY DDR4 is a moderate cost, high performance DDR4 memory designed for the latest motherboards on the market. It offers Plug & Play connectivity at 2400 MHz and 2666 MHz, making it ready for overclocking right out of the box. It is available in speeds ranging from 2400 MHz to 3733 MHz with latencies ranging from CL15 to CL19.

 

 

Modules come in 4GB to 32GB configurations in various kits ranging from 16GB to 128GB.

One of the details that has attracted the most attention after the presentations of the NVIDIA RTX 3000 has been the fact of its performance in FP32. Until now, the progression in NVIDIA's so-called TFLOPS Shaders had been scalable to a greater or lesser extent, but with Ampere those numbers have doubled, and have raised the alarms of many users who continue with the idea that FP32 performance is synonymous with veracity to compare architectures. Why is this happening?

The explanation has a lot to do with one of the fundamental changes in the architecture and what NVIDIA has called 1/2 FP32 rate. This name does not come from now, but from the Turing architecture and its SMs, where, as we well know, integers were separated from floats and this resulted in the ability to include three different engines, but with some drawbacks.
