OCZ Technology Group Inc. announced today the launch of the world's first PC3-16000 4GB (2x2048MB) DDR3 kits, able to deliver even more performance and increase productivity on the latest DDR3 platforms. The company is already known for its interest in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory, so the premiere of the 4GB of high-performance memory for ultra high-end desktops does not come as a surprise for some.

OCZ PC3-16000 4GB kits have been designed to deliver the highest performance that can result from the combination between high-density memory and the highest speeds available. The enthusiasts purchasing the kits will have the maximum benefit from it, enjoying both the featured unbeatable overclocking capabilities of next generation platforms, and the ability of the kits to take DDR3 to performance levels that have never been reached before.

"It is no myth that higher memory densities make it harder to push higher clock frequencies," commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. "OCZ Technology pulled off this seemingly impossible task with the release of the world's fastest high-density memory solution. The new OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Platinum Edition kits combine two 2GB modules for 4GB system density running at 9-9-9 latencies and a record-breaking 2GHz data rate. All of this is achieved at only 1.9V which falls well within the voltage tolerances of any DDR3 memory controller currently on the market."

The new high-density 2GHz DDR3 dual channel kits are part of the renowned OCZ Platinum series, and they present themselves as the ideal solution for professionals that use high-bandwidth video, music, and graphics applications, as well as for computer enthusiasts or gamers that need their PC to fulfill the high demands of the latest titles using high performance settings of the DirectX10.

OCZ announced that a 4GB kit option would also be added to the popular PC3-14400 Platinum Series, along with the other high-density DDR3 offerings, enabling users to enjoy all the advantage of 1800MHz speeds on the latest motherboards. The OCZ Platinum line gives users the opportunity to have the latest balance of speed and latency at the highest densities possible at the moment, without throwing away the industry-leading overclocking capabilities the kits can offer.

Both OCZ PC3-16000 and PC3-14400 Platinum Series will be offered in 4GB (2x2048MB) dual channel kits or 2GB modules, along with an industry-leading lifetime warranty. The new OCZ PC3-16000 and PC3-18000 4GB kits combine the rapid memory speed with high-density DDR3 architecture in a quest to deliver the ultimate for advanced platform performance in gaming and intensive applications.
