G.Skill Improves PC Short-Term Memory with New DDR3 Line

With computing technology evolving very quickly, better and faster Random Access Memory (RAM) is always a pleasant sight. This is especially true considering the approach of six-core chips, with Intel's Core i7 980X already planned for March. G.Skill decided to supply the beginning of 2010 with a new set of memory modules aimed for use with Intel's Core i5 and Core i7 central processing units. Touted as its “ultimate DDR3,” G.Skill's latest DDR3 random access memory products distinguish themselves from most others, and from each other, through their respective frequencies of 2000MHz or more. The products also differ through the supported processors, even as their voltages and capacities are the same.

Unlike other desktop memory modules, which are designed with a product support range as wide as possible, G.Skill's DDR3 models are “specifically tailored” for Intel's LGA 1156 central processing units. The processors supported are the Intel Core i5 750 and the Core i7 860 and 870 chips. While this is a rather reduced support range, when paired with these processors, the modules will unleash their full might, with clock frequencies ranging between 2000MHz and 2400MHz.

The units will require the latest BIOS and only the 2000MHz modules will support the Core i5 730 processor. They will come in capacities of four gigabytes (2 x 2GB) and run on 1.65V.

“To ensure reliability with performance, G.Skill has worked with performance mainboard companies to ensure the best stability and compatibility. All new G.Skill memory modules require the latest mainboard BIOS version for best results, and the compatible mainboard list is shown on product section in G.Skill’s official website,” the official press release said.

The 240-pin DIMMs will come with a lifetime warranty and will be used on P55 motherboards. Unfortunately for hopeful enthusiasts, pricing and availability details have not been disclosed as of yet. Nevertheless, those interested in a closer look may visit the company's website.
