CES 2026: Biwin’s 9200MT/s DDR5 RAM, Mini SSDs and more

Biwin used CES 2026 to showcase a broad refresh of its consumer storage and memory portfolio, spanning CFexpress cards, portable SSDs, DDR5 modules, microSD cards, and next‑generation PCIe Gen5 NVMe drives. 

First up we have the CB500 CFexpress Type B card, designed for high‑end cameras and 8K capture. It delivers up to 3750MB/s read performance, enabling rapid offloading and sustained high‑bitrate recording. Biwin also highlighted its compact CL100 and RD510 Mini SSDs, aimed at embedded systems, handhelds, and ultra‑portable devices. The Mini SSD platform uses a 15×17×1.4mm LGA package yet still reaches up to 3700MB/s read and 3400MB/s write, with capacities from 512GB to 2TB. The accompanying RD510 card reader supports USB 3.2 Gen1 for fast external transfers.

On the memory side, the DW100 DDR5 memory, which was the recipient of a CES Innovation Award, was on display. These modules reach up to 8400MT/s, with RGB variants rated up to 9200MT/s and CL42 latency for high‑end gaming and enthusiast builds.

For portable storage, Biwin showed multiple PSSD options. The OC PR2000 is a rugged USB‑C portable SSD with silicone protection, offering capacities up to 4TB and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 throughput. The PX4000 PSSD targets mainstream users needing compact, high‑speed external storage. The ME300 microSD series expands Biwin’s flash card lineup, rated for 210MB/s read and 170MB/s write, with capacities up to 512GB for drones, handheld consoles, and action cameras.

Biwin also brought its latest PCIe Gen5 NVMe drives to the show, including the X570 PRO and X570H PRO. Both support NVMe 2.0 and reach up to 14000MB/s read and 14000MB/s write, with the X570 PRO additionally rated for 2000K/1600K IOPS thanks to its DRAM‑equipped controller.

KitGuru Says: What did you make of Biwin's CES line-up this year?

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 Series May Tap Rubin GPU Architecture But When?

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 Series May Tap Rubin GPU Architecture But When? Remember back in September when NVIDIA announced the existence of the Rubin CPX processor at the AI Technology Conference? We theorized at that time that Rubin CPX could be the chip destined to eventually appear in next-generation GeForce cards. The theory made sense, but apparently it's incorrect, at least according to long-time NVIDIA leaker

Havn enters the PSU market with XR 1000W Platinum A++

Havn, the company behind cases such as the HS 420 and the more recent BF 360, has officially branched out into power delivery. Debuting at CES 2026, the Havn XR 1000W Platinum A++ is the manufacturer's first foray into the PSU space, and it appears to be aiming for the top of the enthusiast market. Built to the ATX 3.1 standard and featuring dual 12V-2×6 connectors, the XR Series is focused on high-performance stability and quiet acoustics.

Havn (via TechPowerUP) emphasised that the design was refined through extensive internal testing at its own lab to ensure the electrical performance meets the needs of next-gen hardware. The “A++” suffix in the name refers to its Cybenetics Lambda A++ acoustic rating, the highest possible certification for silence. The company claims the unit operates at under 15 dB(A) under typical loads, a feat achieved through a fully decoupled H Series cooling fan that borrows the vibration-dampening tech from Havn's H14 case fans.

The unit's industrial design is equally premium, featuring a monopart die-cast aluminium top that serves as both a structural element and an aerodynamic intake. This shroud is designed to guide airflow directly onto the internal components and fan blades with minimal turbulence, further reducing wind noise. Havn promises rock-solid 12V rail stability and superior transient response, ensuring that rapid power spikes characteristic of high-power GPUs are handled without triggering protections or inducing coil whine.

Moreover, the unit supports the Intel C6/C7 power states and a high-efficiency 5V standby (5VSB) rail for modern “Alternative Low Power” modes. Unfortunately, consumers will have to wait a few more months to get their hands on one, as the HAVN XR 1000W Platinum A++ is slated for a global release only in Q2/Q3 2026.

KitGuru says: Havn has already proven it can compete with the industry giants in the case market, so a move into premium PSUs is a logical next step. If the XR 1000W can truly deliver Platinum efficiency at sub-15 dB(A) noise levels, it will be a formidable rival to established “silent” flagships.

Cherry Xtrfy debuts TMR magnetic keyboards at CES 2026

Cherry Xtrfy has utilised its CES 2026 appearance to show what it has been working on. With the industry moving towards magnetic switches (Hall Effect, TMR, and inductive being the three most common), Cherry has decided to follow the trend. The German company has settled on TMR, which measures changes in electrical resistance rather than voltage shifts. These new sensors can detect key travel with 0.01 mm resolution while drawing significantly less power, increasing the battery life of magnetic keyboards.

The first Cherry keyboard to use this technology is the MX 8.2 Pro TMR Wireless, a tenkeyless (TKL) chassis with a premium aluminium top frame and double-shot PBT keycaps. This model implements an 8,000 Hz polling rate in both wired and 2.4 GHz wireless modes. The Cherry MK Crystal Magnetic switches used on this board provide a linear feel, but the board's “DualMaster” hot-swap sockets allow users to mix and match standard mechanical MX switches.

For enthusiasts who prefer a smaller footprint, the K5 Pro TMR delivers the same technological advantages in a 65% more compact layout. This wired model builds on the foundation of the popular K5 series, replacing the standard mechanical switches with MK Crystal TMR units. Beyond the switch upgrade, the K5 Pro received a polling rate increase from 1,000 Hz to 8,000 Hz to ensure parity with the flagship TKL model. Both keyboards are fully supported by the new Cherry MagCrate software, which enables advanced features such as Rapid Trigger, Dynamic Keystroke (assigning up to four actions to a single key based on depth), and SnapKey for SOCD-like movement prioritisation.

The MX 8.2 Pro TMR Wireless is scheduled to hit retail shelves on January 29th, 2026, for €229.99/$249.99. The more compact K5 Pro TMR is slated for a spring release, with pricing to be confirmed closer to the launch.

KitGuru says: The ability to hot-swap between mechanical and magnetic switches on a single board is interesting, but we wonder whether buyers would actually take advantage of it.
