HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KLEVV, the leading consumer memory and storage brand introduced by Essencore, unveils the all-new CRAS V RGB PRIME DDR5 Gaming/OC Memory. Purpose-built for elite gaming rigs and demanding creative workloads, this new premium memory unleashes ultra-low CAS latency down to CL26 at 6000 MT/s and blazing overclocking speeds of up to 8000 MT/s at CL38, dressed in a striking black-and-gold finish and armed with dual-platform overclocking support for gamers, PC builders, and performance enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best. 

Refined Flagship Design and Craftsmanship
Building on the aluminum heat spreader design of the flagship CRAS V RGB, winner of both the Red Dot and iF Design Awards, the CRAS V RGB PRIME introduces a striking new black-and-gold interpretation of the series’ signature look.

An advanced hard-anodizing process, combined with a specialized surface treatment, gives the modules a smooth, piano-lacquer-like sheen that adds depth and sophistication from every angle. The result is an understated yet luxurious aesthetic that offers users a fresh, premium design choice while preserving the refined craftsmanship of the original CRAS V RGB.

High-Speed Performance with Lower Latency
The CRAS V RGB PRIME further advances KLEVV’s DDR5 overclocking memory lineup with tested speeds of 6000, 6400, and 8000 MT/s and CAS latencies of CL26, CL28, and CL38, respectively.

The 6000 MT/s configuration features tested timings of 26-36-36-76, while the 6400 MT/s configuration delivers timings of 28-38-38-78. For users seeking extreme frequencies, the 8000 MT/s models operate at tested timings of 38-48-48-128. All configurations are tested at 1.4V.

The 6000 and 6400 MT/s configurations are available in dual-channel kits ranging from 32GB (16GBx2), 64GB (32GBx2), to 128GB (64GBx2), while the 8000 MT/s models are offered in both 32GB (16GBx2) and 48GB (24GBx2) kits.

People&Technology advances smart hospital validation at Saudi Arabia’s PSMMC, backed by KHIDI

Published

on

By

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — People&Technology (PnT), a smart hospital solution provider, is validating its smart hospital technologies at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC), one of Saudi Arabia’s largest medical cities, operating under the Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense.

The project, officially titled “Introduction of an integrated smart hospital digitalization solution for outpatient and inpatient services utilizing existing infrastructure at a major Saudi medical city,” is supported by the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) under its ICT-based healthcare system overseas expansion program. It centers on PnT’s IndoorPlus+ platform, deploying three services: Smart ward, with wearable patient monitoring and asset tracking in the stroke unit to speed clinical response and ease nursing workload; Smart outpatient, built on indoor wayfinding to cut wait times and simplify navigation for outpatients; and an IoMT-based Smart hospital command center, giving administrators real-time, facility-wide visibility for faster decisions.

PnT is finalizing deployment of its wayfinding solution in PSMMC’s ObGyn ward for on-site demonstration, integrating with the patient mobile app developed by DigitConn to guide outpatients through the department. The solution reuses the hospital’s existing digital signage and kiosk infrastructure, whose Bluetooth broadcast capability is repurposed for location-based services, cutting installation cost and boosting synergy across on-site digital systems.

On the ground, the project is anchored by DigitConn, PnT’s trusted local partner, serving as PSMMC’s coordination and technical-support contact. DigitConn brings close to two decades of experience in Saudi Arabia’s healthcare IT industry, dating back to 2006, with deployments across major public hospitals nationwide. Together, PnT and DigitConn secured a tripartite MOU with PSMMC and completed on-site demonstrations with hospital clinicians.

“Validating our solutions at a facility of PSMMC’s scale and standing gives us a reference few overseas providers can match, showing hospitals across the region that our platform performs in one of Saudi Arabia’s most demanding institutional environments,” said an official at PnT.

With Saudi Vision 2030 driving healthcare digital transformation, PnT views PSMMC as a proof point for GCC and MENA expansion, signaling its ability to earn trust within large, government-run hospital systems.

PnT’s IndoorPlus+ platform has been deployed across 120+ hospitals to date, with interoperability spanning 50+ wearable and medical devices and 100+ IoT systems.

PnT plans to expand its PSMMC deployment based on the current phase’s results, with broader rollout planned across Ministry of Defense hospitals region-wide.
