Intel launched information on its 6th generation "Skylake" Core processors, along with the Z170 chipset today. Z170 makes use of DDR4 memory, but not in the quad-channel configurations that x99 uses. Kingston has released dual-channel HyperX kits to pair with the new platform.
HyperX Fury DDR4 kits are optimized to work with Intel's new platform and comes in capacities ranging from 8 GB up to 64 GB. In addition to the range of capacities, HyperX is releasing these new DDR4 kits in three different frequencies: 2133 MHz, 2400 MHz and 2666 MHz, and they'll all operate at 1.2V.
Kingston said Fury DDR4 memory offers automatic overclocking, which is supposed to increase the speed of the memory just by installing it in a Z170 board. The company claimed no adjustment in the BIOS is needed.
Kingston said HyperX Fury DDR4 has been tested in all major motherboard brands to ensure compatibility, and offers a lifetime warranty along with free technical support in case you have problems.
HyperX Fury DDR4 DIMMS are designed with a low-profile design and feature an all-black asymmetrical heat spreader. Dual channel kits are available now. Kingston didn't announce MSRP, but a quick search online showed 2x4 GB DDR4-2133 MHz kits available for under $70.
