Kingston is probably a brand we all know. They make a massive variety of products, from gaming peripherals under the HyperX brand to storage and memory solutions of every kind. The latest rankings by DRAMeXchange hints at Kingstonβs popularity, with it being the worldβs top DRAM module supplier of 2018. And itβs their 16th consecutive year as king of the hill.
TrendForce places Kingstonβs market share at an overwhelming 72.17%, which is much higher than the rest of the DRAM module makers combined.
