Kingston has recently announced that they have sold-off their HyperX gaming brand to HP. Prior to this, HyperX has distanced itself from the Kingston correlation to establish itself as a stand-alone brand, perhaps to further make it attractive to potential buyers. The biggest question though was would Kingston let go of the its gaming portfolio despite gaming sparking a huge market for the company. Obviously, it won’t and while still promoting the HyperX brand, Kingston is now formally announcing their new brand: Kingston FURY.

Kingston Technology Europe Co LLP, an affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., today announced the name of its new high-performance, enthusiast and gaming brand: Kingston FURY.

The Kingston engineering expertise which is behind the numerous overclocking records and awards that the HyperX memory line has gathered since 2002 continues into the new era of high-performance DRAM and flash solutions.
