Kingston will retain the SSD, flash and DRAM business which also serves enthusiasts and gamers. The existing SSD, flash and DRAM models under the HyperX brand could either be moved to the Kingston brand or we might see a new brand being announced by Kingston. As of now, little is known about this. HP has its own line of gaming products under the HP Omen (also written as Omen by HP Gaming) brand which primarily consists of gaming laptops and desktop PCs, and also has peripherals.
