Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs to launch with Intel 800 series chipset compatibility
Kingston Technology has just announced the Kingston FURY Renegade DDR5 CUDIMMs, designed to take advantage of Intel’s upcoming 800-series chipset. This chipset, formerly known as Arrow Lake, is the first to use Clock Drivers on CUDIMMs. At a speed of 6400MT/s DDR5, JEDEC now requires a Client Clock Driver (CKD) on UDIMMs and SODIMMs, which improves signal integrity. To distinguish these advanced modules, JEDEC has labeled them as CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs.
Kristy Ernt, DRAM business manager at Kingston, highlighted the appeal of these new modules: “The introduction of overclockable DDR5 CUDIMM modules allows us to reach a broader range of professionals who demand top-tier performance and want to push the limits of their systems without compromising signal integrity.”

In order to make it easier to discover leaked data, Quadrant Information Security is launching a free Dark Web Reports service offering insights into compromised credentials and leaked information and actionable advice on how to address them.
Apps, analytics and AI: 4 common mistakes
The app economy is big business. Apple’s App Store ecosystem alone generated a staggering $1.1 trillion in total billings and sales for developers in 2022. But as users demand more relevant and immediate experiences, often driven by AI, developers increasingly need competitive advantages to stand out.
Real-time analytics, supercharged by generative AI, can provide a critical edge by allowing developers to extract key insights and quickly adapt their apps to reflect changing user expectations. But only 17 percent of enterprises today have the ability to perform real-time analysis on large volumes of data, and adoption remains slow. Meanwhile, even when companies are able to perform real-time analytics, there are several common mistakes that can prevent them from reaping its full benefits:
Microsoft creates a new reason to buy an AI-powered Copilot+ PC -- image upscaling in Microsoft Photos
Image upscaling has existed as a technology for a number of years, but the results for both videos and still images have proved somewhat mixed. But with the continuous creeping development of AI, Microsoft has just added a preview of super resolution for Copilot+ PCs to its Photos app.
While there are updates and new features for both the Windows 10 and Windows 11 versions of Microsoft Photos, image upscaling is only available to Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs with Windows 11, version 24H2 and higher in the Canary, Dev, and Release Preview Channels. A powerful new OCR feature is available to everyone, however.
Microsoft releases Windows 11 update with revamped Start menu, printer fixes, and new Copilot button remapping
Microsoft has released the KB5044380 update for Windows 11, a preview version of the update that will roll out to everyone next Patch Tuesday. There is quite a lot to be found in this particular release including the previously announced ability to remap the Copilot key on a keyboard if you don’t like its default function.
As this is a preview update there are no security fixes, but problems with multi-function printers, Microsoft Teams, and high battery usage have all been addressed. There are numerous tweaks, fixes and additions that are available immediately to anyone installing the KB5044380 update, but there are also some that are subject to a more gradual rollout.
McAfee and Yahoo News partner to introduce AI-powered deepfake image detection
