Kingston launches new HyperX T1 RAM for Core i7

Posted in Kingston by Shane McGlaun on November 13th, 2008

Kingston HyperX T1 MemoryWhen Intel first started getting detailed about hardware requirements for its Core i7 CPUs, one of the things that worried some enthusiasts was the low max voltage RAM could be ran at. This meant that new RAM was needed to get the best performance out of the Core i7 and X58 chipset combination.

Kingston was among the first RAM makers in late October to launch triple-channel kits specifically for the new Intel platform with its first triple channel HyperX RAM. Kingston is now back with more DDR3 triple channel kits specifically for the Core i7 platform and other platforms. The difference is that the new HyperX offerings Kingston has announced use a new heatspreader design.

Kingston launches Intel X58/Core i7 triple channel RAM kits

Kingston Hyper X Triple Channel RAMEnthusiasts and computer geeks everywhere are waiting in anticipation for the latest Intel X58 chipset mainboards and the Intel Core i7 CPUs to hit the market. The X58 will be the first non-NVIDIA chipset mainboard to run SLI and has other interesting features.

One of the caveats of the new X58/Core i7 combo is that maximum voltage for RAM DIMMS has been lowered significantly from previous combinations. It’s not uncommon to see enthusiast RAM today require voltages over 2V. The X58/Core i7 combo can have a max of 1.65V for RAM.

Kingston HyperX DDR3 2GHz RAMHard-core gamers and fans of overclocking like to spend money on quality computer components that can withstand extreme use. Buying cheap CPUs, motherboards, PSUs and RAM won’t cut it for this sort of user.

Kingston has announced a new RAM kit that is claims to be the fastest DDR3 modules available. The memory is Kingston’s HyperX DDR3 Ram running at 2GHz. Enhanced Performance Profiles are pre-programmed on the modules.

Corsair claims title for fastest DDR3 RAM available

Corsair Dominator DDR3 RAMDDR3 RAM has been around for a while and enthusiast and gamers have been able to take advantage of DDR3 Ram with Intel chipsets for a while. With the 790i Ultra mainboard fans of NVIDIA chipsets could finally take advantage of DDR3. DDR3 RAM runs at speeds that DDR2 can only dream about and DDR3 is getting faster all the time.

Corsair has launched a new product in the Dominator DDR3 line with the part number TW3X2G2133C9DF. The kit includes two 1GB sticks of RAM that is verified to run at 2133MHz on 790i mainboards. The RAM also includes an Airflow Fan for better cooling.

OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Platinum Edition

OCZ Technology recently unveiled PC3-16000 4GB (2×2048MB) DDR3 kits for those needing high-performance memory. These join existing 2GB modules of similar design.

The OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Platinum Edition kits combine two 2GB modules for 4GB system density running at 9-9-9 latencies and a 2GHz data rate, according to OCZ. They reportedly achieve this at 1.9V.

Memristor eliminates the need for RAM

Memristor eliminates the need for RAM
Some Hewlett Packard scientists have come up with a new type of memory that is being hailed as a huge breakthrough. It’s a circuitry component called memristor, which allows data to be stored in circuitry even after the power is switched off. If all of the bugs can be worked out, the technology has massive potential. It could include benefits like computers that power up instantly, cell phones that go much longer without a charge and data loss in the case of power failures or battery death could be a thing of the past.

The memristor reside in the circuitry rather than be a separate memory module. That model allows PC builders to save valuable space. It could also lead to smaller systems that are much more powerful.

Kingston launches low priced DDR3 RAM

Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MhzI am a big fan of computer hardware and when NVIDIA launched its new gear a few weeks back including the 9800 GX2, 9800 GTX and the 790i Ultra mainboards I was very excited. I was especially glad to see NVIDIA finally put out a DDR3 compatible mainboard.

Kingston announced its latest RAM recently that looks to be the perfect complement to the NVIDIA 790i Ultra. Kingston released 1600MHz DDR3 memory in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB kits. Anyone that has prices DDR3 Ram knows that the stuff is expensive. Kingston says its 1600MHz HyperX DDR3 is designed to be economically priced.
