With all the new, high-speed and low-voltage memory kits and modules that have been sprouting from all over the world, G.Skill has once again broken the silence, this time in its quest to become the owner of the memory kit with the highest stock clock speed. Meaning to give PC enthusiasts a solution to their strict RAM requirements, the memory and storage developer has come forth, Hexus reports, and released, as part of its existing Trident series, a 4GB DDR3 dual-channel kit with a stock frequency of no less than 2,500MHz.

The kit was built in collaboration with ASUS, is meant for desktops based on Intel P55 motherboards and will work best when paired with the Intel Core-i7 860 and 870 central processing units. The two companies worked together to resolve “technology bottlenecks while maintaining the perfect stability,” after which the DDR3 kit was subjected to a high number of strict tests on the ASUS P7P55D-E Deluxe and P7P55D-E EVO motherboards. The end-result is, according to the hardware maker, “the ultimate high performance memory” that will “satisfy the demands of top overclockers and PC enthusiasts worldwide.”

“G.Skill is dedicated to continuously developing the best performance memory modules on the market, to satisfy the demands of extreme overclockers and gamers. We are proud of the continual milestones we are still setting in the memory industry, and we believe the collaboration with ASUS brings the best technology synergy for future product development,” Tony Chou, senior R&D manager at G.Skill, said.

The DDR3-2500 kit is backed by a lifetime warranty, consumes 1.65V and the modules it is made up of are equipped with high-quality aluminum heatsinks. Capacity and latencies aren't mentioned, but if this kit is the one reportedly demonstrated at CeBIT, it has 4GB and timings of CL9-11-11-31. Unfortunately, there is no word on what pricing and availability G.Skill has planned for its newest offspring, although it is quite obvious that interested consumers will have to make sure that their wallets or bank accounts are well enough stocked.
