Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 16 GB 4800 MHz – Model KF548S38IB‑16

The Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 16 GB 4800 MHz (model KF548S38IB‑16) is a high‑performance laptop/compact system memory module built on the latest DDR5 technology. With a capacity of 16 GB, speed of 4800 MT/s (PC5‑38400), CAS latency around CL38, and low operating voltage of 1.1 V, this SO‑DIMM is ideal for modern laptops, mini‑PCs, and other small form‑factor systems that support DDR5. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Key Features

• Capacity: 16 GB (1 × 16 GB module) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Speed / Bandwidth: 4800 MT/s (PC5‑38400) :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• CAS Latency (CL): CL38 (38‑38‑38) in typical XMP profile :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Voltage: 1.1 V (DDR5 standard for this model) :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Form Factor: SO‑DIMM (262‑pin) for laptops / mini‑PCs etc. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Advanced Features: On‑die ECC, Intel XMP 3.0 support, Plug & Play automatic overclocking to rated speed. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Benefits

• Access to DDR5‑4800 performance in a compact SO‑DIMM format — boosting bandwidth for multitasking, content creation, gaming and more.
• Low voltage (1.1 V) means lower power consumption and less heat generation — beneficial in laptops and compact systems.
• XMP 3.0 and Plug & Play make it easier to achieve full rated speed without extensive tweaking — you can enjoy increased performance quickly.
• Single‑module format (16 GB) leaves space for expansion while ensuring immediate performance upgrade. For dual‑channel systems you could pair two modules if supported.

Compatibility & Notes

• Ensure your system supports DDR5 SO‑DIMM modules at 4800 MT/s. Some systems with DDR5 may default to lower speeds or may require enabling XMP/DOCP in BIOS. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• If installing alongside existing memory, aim to match capacity, voltage (1.1 V) and ideally module specs (speed/timings) to avoid mismatches or instability.
• Because this is a high‑speed DDR5 kit, stable operation may also depend on up‑to‑date BIOS/firmware and compatible chipset support (especially in laptops). Some users reported that certain systems wouldn’t boot until BIOS update. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
