Aeneon by Qimonda, the channel and retail brand of Qimonda, has recently announced that its latest DDR3-1600 Triple Channel Kits (CL9), which come in 3GB and 6GB flavors for the new Intel Core i7 processor and Intel X58 Express chipset, have already become available on the market. The new kits feature three memory modules each, and are said to be able to deliver high performance memory with standard voltage to the next generation high-end desktop platform, which could match exactly the requirements of the new Intel flagship parts.

 

As many of you already know, the newly launched Intel Core i7 processors need triple channel kits to work at their best capacity. The new Aeneon modules are able to deliver high speed at 1600 MHz at competitive latency of CL-9, while running at standard DDR3 voltage of 1.5V. The new Core i7 micro-architecture sports an integrated controller able to support up to three memory module channels, which also contributes to leveraging the performance levels of DDR3 memory kits. The result translates into an exceptional memory bandwidth, while the performance experience can become astonishing.

 

The new Intel Nehalem architecture enables users to enjoy impressive performance heights delivered by the conjunct work of the CPU, chipset and memory modules. As stated before, although the Core i7 chip works with DDR2 memory too, its true capabilities can be unleashed only when paired with the proper DDR3 memory modules. The kits unveiled by Aeneon can be categorized as optimal solutions for the processor.

 

The new Aeneon 3GB and 6GB triple channel memory kits make use of very energy efficient 1Gbit DDR3 components, and have been added by the company to its XTUNE portfolio of retail DRAM solutions. Starting November 2008, the new XTUNE DDR3 Triple Channel Kits are available worldwide, and come in a new stylish packaging box.
