Despite the very low voltage, it runs better than most high-end RAM modules and kits

Usually, fast and capacious memory kits run on a voltage of 1.5V or 1.65V, while slower but more energy-efficient modules operate on less than that, usually 1.35V. Now, though, G.Skill has announced a low-voltage kit that is faster than most regular DIMMs.

Called G.Skill DDR3L 2133 MHz 1.35V kit, it is quite remarkable. After all, it wasn't too long ago that 1.5V was considered “low voltage.”

In fact, it's still considered low voltage in some circles, while 1.35V is ultra-low voltage. Clearly, G.Skill is trying to make a statement here.

Said message is that it's good at what it does if it can pull off a combo like this. It even managed to cram 4 GB capacity into the SO-DIMM form factor (the type used in laptops).

All in all, there's definitely enough cause to dub the newcomer worthy of the Ripjaws product line. Too bad no price is known.
