14 DAY TRIAL // German memory manufacturer Exceleram has just announced the introduction of a new series of dual-channel memory kits which are specially designed to be used together with Sandy Bridge motherboards, the lineup being comprised of five different models.
The kits are available in 4GB and 8GB sizes (2x2GB and 2x4GB) and they all carry SPD/XMP profiles of 1333 MHz or 1600 MHz.
The most basic model is the ERS300A which uses a pair of 2GB memory modules clocked at 1333 MHz with 9-9-9-24 timings, which strictly follows JEDEC's PC3-10700H specification.
Next in line is the ERS301A, which is a 2x 4GB kit, that also adheres to JEDEC's specification as its clocked at 1333 MHz and features the same 9-9-9-24 as that of its smaller bother.
The ERS302A is the first higher clocked memory released, as it carries an XMP-1600 profile.
Its operating timings have been kept at the same 9-9-9-24 latencies as all the other modules in this family, and the kit is comprised of dual 2GB sticks.
Users that want a larger capacity kit can opt for the ERS303A which packs a pair of 4GB sticks, the rest of the specifications remaining unchanged from the ERS302A.
Finally, the company has also introduced a 1333 MHz kit that runs as tighter timings, 7-10-10-24 to be more precise, via an XPM profile.
Extreme Memory Profile, or XMP for short, is an SPD extension developed by Intel for DDR3 DIMMs to encode high performance memory settings inside the modules, thus enabling users to optimize memory frequencies and timings by simply selecting such a profile in the BIOS.
All the kits are certified for being used together with Sandy Bridge CPUs, feature a 1.50V operating voltage, black PCBs and the Rippler heatspreader that has also been used in some of the company's previous models.
No details regarding pricing were provided at this time, but Exceleram's products are usually competitively priced. (via TechPowerUp)
