14 DAY TRIAL // The electronics show currently happening in Taipei, Computex, has reached its third day and has already seen the rise of a great many tablets, laptops, motherboards and other devices, each with some peculiar trait meant to set it apart from all others. Unsurprisingly, the many ARM or Moorestown slates on show, the NVIDIA Optimus laptops and the motherboards powered by the 2011-bound Intel P67 chipset have stolen most of the spotlight so far. Their turn is almost over though, which means that others, even those not at the expo, can now take theirs.
Mach Xtreme decided to simply issue a press release and offer a glimpse of its latest Copper Series memory product. It isn't the fastest XMP triple-channel DDR3, nor is it equipped with any thermal sensors, but it can show off quite a capacity per module. To be more specific, the new Copper Series DDR3 dual-channel kit is composed of two 4GB modules.
The product is not exactly meant for overclocking enthusiasts. Instead, it should prove its worth in the service of resource-heavy applications and multitaskers. To this end, the clock speed isn't set overly high, at least not compared to the 2,500 MHz or more that certain Kingston or Corsair kits can boast about. The speed reaches a fairly decent 1333MHz, which should be enough for anyone not interested in setting benchmarking records. Furthermore, both modules have CL9 latencies and consume the standard 1.5V.
The Mach Xtreme 2 x 4GB dual-channel kit is equipped with a patented, high-quality Japanese Lightweight Aluminum Heat-sink on each DIMM, and it is ROHS, WEEE, CE and FCC certified. Unfortunately, the company did not exactly mention how much it will take for this pair to actually make it to store shelves, though it shouldn't be long. As for pricing, no numbers were given, though the phrase “consumer friendly pricing” at least suggests some level of affordability.
