8GB and 12 GB High-Performance Memory Kits Revealed by G.Skill

G.Skill's PI, Trident, Ripjaws, ECO and NQ product lineups received new members when the company released its latest memory modules, amounting to no less than 13 distinct models. The company did not hold back in its development of high-performance memory and produced this large range of new memory kits, which will most certainly bring benefits to any reasonably equipped desktop.

The lineup consists of 12 quad-module kits and one hexa-module kit and operates at speeds ranging from 1333MHz to 2200MHz. The modules build upon G.Skill's reputation as a manufacturer of extreme performance and high-speed memory by boasting memory capacities of 8 GB (2GB x 4) and 16 GB (2GB x 6).

These kits were intended for multiple user categories, whether families, business users, enthusiasts and gamers. The kits are designed to provide multi-tasking enthusiasts with more than enough memory to work with, ensuring an optimum system performance even after an entire day of simultaneous typing, photo editing, multimedia playback and gaming.

The high-capacity DDR3 solutions range from the 8GB DDR3 at 1600MHz CL7 to new, ultra-low voltage modules belonging to the ECO series, of 8GB at 1600MHz CL7 1.32V. The lineup also includes a Pi-series 8GB 2200MHz CL7 1.65V memory kit. They operate at a low latency and do not need additional voltage in order to reach their intended clock speeds.

“G.Skill understands that families, business users, PC enthusiasts and gamers are often heavy multi-taskers too. Opening tens of applications to retain a workflow or several hundred photos after a family day out can put serious demands on the memory capacity, so installing 8-12GB becomes an investment in being able to do as much as you want, when you want,” the press release says.

The kits may be complemented by memory heatsinks belonging to G.Skill's Ripjaws, Trident, NQ and Pi lineups, as well as the ultra-low voltage ECO series. The products' marketing details, such as pricing and availability, have not yet been made public, although one could safely assume that these memory kits are not aimed at the lower market segment.
