Corsair is going to launch the new 4 GB DOMINATOR DDR3 memory kit running at 2000 MHz at CompuTex 2008. Available in 4 GB DOMINATOR kits, it features the DHX cooling, quad-layer heat sink design to maximize thermal dissipation. With DHX Technology, heat is removed via two paths - the leads of the BGA chips into the PCB (conductive cooling) and the back of the BGA packages into the custom designed extruded aluminum heat sinks (convective cooling). The new kit is priced at USD 675.
Super Talent announced the new DDR3 SO-DIMMs, which supports transfer rates up to 10,664 MB/sec. It requires only 1.5V, compared to 1.8V for DDR2, resulting in power savings of up to 20% and less heat output. Available in modules of 1 GB, it features a speed of 1333 MHz, CL9 and has a street price of USD 99.
Silicon-Power releases its DDR3 1066 SO-DIMM memory modules. Newest design of ASR (Automatic Self-Refresh) reduces the temperature and power consumption. The new modules have CL7 and are currently available in 1GB and 2GB capacities.
Kingston today announced that its HyperX 1800MHz DDR3 memory has been certified under the Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) validation program. According to Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager of Kingston, 'many of our motherboard partners, including ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte, have released XMP-ready offerings that can take immediate advantage of HyperX XMP-certified memory on current X38 and X48 platforms'.
When paired with select Intel X38/X48 series-based motherboards, Kingston HyperX modules increase overall system performance, guarantees Kingston.
Corsair announced that its Labs has set the world record for the highest achieved DDR3 frequency. A single-rank 1GB module achieved a speed of 2462MHz at CL=9. This record was set using Corsair's DOMINATOR DDR3 memory module paired with an Asus P5E3 Premium motherboard based on the Intel X48 chipset.
OCZ announced two new Reaper HPC solutions for enthusiasts upgrading to next generation of cutting-edge platforms. The PC3-14400 and PC3-12800 Reaper HPC Series are now available in both 2GB and 4GB dual channel kits.
