14 DAY TRIAL // With the launch of Intel's much-anticipated P55 platform and compatible Core i5 and Core i7 Lynnfield processors, major hardware makers are also gearing up with new products that have been designed to support the new platform and its features. Such is the case with Kingston Technology, one of the world's most recognized brands in the memory industry, which has just announced the introduction of a new lineup of dual-channel DDR3 HyperX memory kits. The new modules have been designed to support Intel's LGA 1156 Core i5 and Core i7 processors and provide users with support for some high-performance, desktop configurations.
“Kingston has worked with our terrific partners including Intel, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI worldwide, to develop a series of memory kits that deliver top-notch performance on some of the finest motherboards being launched this week,” Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston, said. “While the 2133MHz modules are engineered for benchmarkers and overclockers, our new 1600MHz frequency is the perfect choice for mainstream users who want to build their own rigs with P55 motherboards and 1156-pin processors.”
Being part of the company's HyperX series, the new memory kits are rated as high-performance alternatives to standard DDR3 memory solutions available on the market. The new kits are certified for Intel's XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) technology, meaning that they are ready for overclocking and consequently providing users with a high level of performance. The kits are available in packs of 4GB, working at speeds of 2133MHz.
