Kingston today announced the new HyperX Plug and Play (PnP) notebook memory module series. This series is aimed at high-performance computing enthusiasts that are looking to get the most from their second generation Intel Core i5 and i7 'Sandy Bridge' mobile processor. You see, when Intel came out with the Huron River platform (Intel HM65 Express Chipsets) the only certified JEDEC settings were 1066Mhz and 1333MHz. So, when most of these notebooks came out in Q1 2011 they were all fitted with 1333MHz memory kits. Well, the JEDEC board recently released JEDEC-compliant settings allowing for 1600MHz and 1866MHz frequency support on these platforms. The Intel 'Sandy Bridge' mobile processor family can easily support these faster memory speeds, so it was only a matter of time until memory companies came out with 1600MHz and 1866MHz modules that had the proper SPD settings to Plug and Play with these new notebooks. The first company that we know of to do this is Kingston with their famed HyperX memory series.
