Recent reports have surfaced about a unique ASUS ROG motherboard, notably distinguished by its integration of SODIMM slots instead of the traditional DIMM slots. This design is typically found in laptops, allowing for more compact memory modules. The motherboard, likely a variant of the ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero, has been customized specifically for Kingston, as indicated by the startup screen that displays "Kingston Fury". This customization suggests that the motherboard is being used in Kingston's laboratories to conduct testing and verification processes for SODIMM memory modules.
SODIMM memory, which is generally used in laptops and compact desktops, often operates at lower speeds compared to standard full-size DRAM modules. This motherboard's adaptation for SODIMM slots highlights a specialized approach to meet specific memory testing needs or to cater to compact system designs.
