Today marked the official unveil of the new Intel Core i5 CPUs. Typically when a new CPU is announced that means you can expect new mainboards and RAM to go along with the CPUs. Kingston has announced that it is the first company to ship speedy RAM for the new Core i5 platform.

Kingston has shipped new RAM kits that run at 2133MHz at 1.65 volts for the LGA1156 Core i5 and Core i7 systems. The RAM is available in 4GB dual channel kits aimed at enthusiasts and overclockers looking for better performance.

The S in iPhone 3G S means more than just faster 3G speeds, which is now 7.2 mbps, for the new iPhone. It also means a faster processor. But just how fast is the iPhone 3G S?

Well, thanks to T-Mobile we have the first official word on the iPhone 3G S processor: 256 RAM (that’s double the iPhone 3G) and a 600 Mhz processor. The chip is most likely built using a 45nm process, but that’s just a guess.

Dell is getting ready to release three new T-series workstations: the T3500, T5500, and T7500. You’ll get up to 1.5TB of storage space, an eSATA port, DisplayPort connectors and they’re EnergyStar compliant.

The T3500 that will support up to 24GB RAM. The T5500 offers a RAM capacity of up to 72GB. Dual sport sockets will be included so you can use dual Intel Xeons. The T7500 supports a hefty 192GB of RAM running at 1,066MHz or 1,333MHz. This model also features dual native Gen 2 PCIe graphics card slots with support for NVIDIA SLI.

Battery life? Who needs it when you have 12GB of RAM, 1TB of HDD a 1GB GeForce GTX 260M (or two if you desire), a Blu-ray Drive and a 17″ screen? That seems to be the question that Asus is posing here. Asus really pulled out all the stops with its newest gaming laptop, the G71gx.

They have our attention. Yes, it’s a true desktop in laptop form. No word on price or availability yet, so you have some time to save up. So what if toting this thing around will kill your back, and who cares if it has a battery life of about 5 minutes. We’re talking power!

The netbook has turned out to be one of the most popular computer classes available. During the global economic downturn, consumers are buying netbooks in increasing numbers to save money. The little machines are more than just cheap computers; they also offer very portable designs that are great for working on the road.

One thing that many netbook users do is upgrade the RAM in their machines .Typically netbooks only come with 1GB of RAM and Kingston has announced a new 2GB SO-DIMM designed specifically for netbooks that support 533MHz memory.

Corsair has been one of the top and most popular memory makers in the PC world for a long time. Some of the highest of high-end gaming PC makers use Corsair RAM in their machines. When the Intel Core i7 CPU and X58 chipset combo launched one of the bad parts was that the system required new low voltage RAM.

The Dominator GT RAM is designed for the i7 and X58 combo with low voltage requirement. The DDR3 RAM is available in triple-channel kits up to 6GB. Corsair uses its Dual-path Heat eXchange technology in the heat sink to keep the modules cool.

It seems like DDR3 RAM hasn’t been around that long in desktop machines and now it is starting to show up in new laptops. DDR3 offers higher operating frequencies promising more performance. However, the drawback is that the latencies on DDR3 are typically much higher than on DDR2 parts negating some of the performance gains.

Kingston has announced that it is now shipping its HyperX DDR3 ultra-low latency SO-DIMM RAM for notebooks. The new RAM operates at 1066MHz and is pre-programmed for high-performance and low latency values. The RAM also has a new metal heat spreader to help reduce heat build-up in the memory.

When 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.

Enthusiasts 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.

Hard-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.

DDR3 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 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.

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.

I 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.
