14 DAY TRIAL // After yesterday's news of Corsair planning to release its first triple-channel DDR3 memory kits, it looks like A-Data stepped ahead of the game in being the first to announce the Core i7-ready triple-channel DDR3 kits, with almost 5-6 weeks before Intel is expected to officially unveil its next-generation desktop processors. Despite the fact that no specific release date has been made public, it’s a good thing to know that even memory manufacturers are getting ready for Intel's next-generation desktop platform.
Just recently A-Data has introduced a new cooling solution, specifically designed to meet the requirements of the company's performance X series of memory modules. However, with the latest development, A-Data has made one a step further towards its goal of claiming the supremacy in the high-end computer memory market. The announcement of the very first Core i7-ready triple-channel DDR3 kits also comes to confirm that we are getting close to the official unveiling of Intel's Nehalem-based Core i7 processors and its next-generation X58 chipset.
Regarding the specific technical details, the upcoming Vitesta-series kits will be available in both 3GB and 6GB capacities working at 1333MHz and 1600MHz. According to the company, the new Vitesta DDR3-1333MHz and DDR3-1600MHz memory modules have been designed to deliver impressive performance rates, working at latencies of 7-7-7-20 and 8-8-8-24, respectively. They will be offered with a lifetime warranty, and are said to become available later this quarter, although, as noted before, there's no specific date available for the time being.
As mentioned above, A-Data's upcoming Vitesta memory kits have been designed for the next-generation X58-enabled motherboards, which means that they will probably end up in one of those new Core i7 gaming rigs that should become available before the holidays. Unfortunately, the company has not reveled any pricing details either so far.
