Like all suppliers of dynamic random access memory, Mach Xtreme has a product line that can practically be seen as that flagship in terms of performance. For the company in question, the so-called ultimate performance memory solution within the MX technology desktop Dual-Channel DDR3 memory family is the so-called ArmorX series. Now, the outfit has issued a press release notifying all men and women alive that it has completed new kits bearing this brand.

Two is the number of kits that have come to be, and they both have total capacities of 8GB (they are made up of two 4GB modules each). Naturally, they are meant for enthusiasts and gamers that want as high a frame rate as possible. The difference between the offerings is, naturally, their clock speed. The less pretentious one operates at 1,600 MHz, which is already a noteworthy clock. The other kit is even better, reaching 2,000 MHz.

The hardware maker went all the way and made sure its new inventions got as much hype as they could. Thus, it made a point of getting them the Intel XMP certification that many enthusiasts look for. As for latencies, the 2000MHz version works at CL 9-9-9-24 2N, whereas the 1600MHz pair function at CL 8-8-8-24 2N. Furthermore, and naturally, like all high-speed products, the memory kits aren't exactly apt at not generating heat. As such, Mach Xtreme did not shy away from strapping a HDT heatspreader on each single module.

The ArmorX DDR3 8GB dual-channel memory kits work on an operating voltage of 1.65V and are accompanied by a lifetime warranty. Unfortunately, the launch date and pricing details have not been disclosed, which means that overclockers and hard-core enthusiasts will have to wait a while longer before tasting just what an armored PC component can do.
