Concord Idea has launched its latest FB-DIMM modules at Computex, saying these latest SyncMAX modules can provide a high-speed data transfer rate with 533, 667 or 800 Mb/s DDR2 components, with a throughput peak of a 6.4 GB/s, according to TG Daily.

In fact, the core of the new memory modules is to be found in the Advanced Memory Buffered (AMB) chip, as the latter is said to "act as a repeater between the memory controller and the next module in the channel enabling a high-speed serial point-to-point communication. The bi-directional serial interface sends and receives data simultaneously, eliminating read-to-write latencies compared to conventional memory," further informs the web site.

More than that, the new chips feature an enhanced capacity of 6 channels with 8 DIMM each, offering a total capacity of 192 GB memory controller. Also, the AMB have correction and error checking functions and a reduced pin count design of 69 or 240 for conventional memory.

Kingston released last month the manufacturer's latest memory modules - HyperX DDR2 1000-MHz (PC2-8000) and HyperX DDR2 1066-MHz (PC2-8500). Both HyperX DDR2 unbuffered DIMMs enclose a storage capacity of up to 2 GB in order to support high end computing.
"These new array of HyperX products are ideal for the latest up and coming DDR2 based platforms. These new modules are a perfect blend of speed and ultimate performance. With the recently released 800-MHz low latency modules the Kingston family is now expanding to include 1000 MHz and the incredibly fast 1066-MHz," believes Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston.

The SyncMAX new modules are set for launch in autumn at an estimated price of $99/$184 for the 512M/1G-533 MHz and $119/$239 for 512M/1G-667 MHz.
