Corsair, one of the world's leading vendors of high-performance memory solutions, has recently announced the introduction of a couple of new memory products, specifically designed to deliver support to the upcoming Intel P55 platform and the next-generation Core i5 and Core i7 processors. These new memory modules have been made available in capacities of 8GB and 12GB kits, enabling support for Intel's next generation of desktop processors. In addition, for increased performance, these new modules have been equipped with the company's proprietary DHX+ cooling technology, with the new American Racing Blue fins and highlights.

“Windows 7 early adopters and other power users have recently been demanding 8GB and 12GB performance memory solutions to optimize their computing experience,” stated John Beekley, vice president of Technical Marketing at Corsair. “These 8GB and 12GB configurations will allow these advanced users to get the most out of their high performance rigs, particularly if they often switch between demanding tasks like gaming and video production.”

According to the Fremont, California-based memory maker, the new memory kits have been made available in both dual-channel and triple channel configurations, enabling support for all of Intel's high-performance platforms. The dual-channel configuration, part number CMD8GX3M4A1600C8, is designed with four matched 2GB modules, optimized for the upcoming P55 motherboards, some of which have already started to make their debut. The CMD12GX3M6A1600C8 triple-channel configuration has been designed with matched 2GB modules for high-end X58 platforms. Both memory sets have been certified for Intel' XMP profiles and boast 1600MHz speeds and CAS latency settings of 8-8-8-24.

Unfortunately, the memory vendor hasn't revealed any details regarding the availability and pricing of its new DDR3 memory kits. However, we have a strong feeling that they will be made available sometime around the official release of Intel's new platform.
