14 DAY TRIAL // The past few months have been practically filled to the brim with announcements of new memory products. Just before and after Advanced Micro Devices brought out its new six-core chips and its mobile processors, memory makers entered a period of arduous competition. Despite OCZ noting that supernatural DDR3 dual-channel speeds shouldn't take precedence over capacity, the top players of the RAM industry did their best to topple each other by bringing out modules with speeds of over 2,200MHz and even 2,500MHz.
Mach Xtreme, of course, didn't stay silent and made its own mark with DDR3-2200 and DDR3-2300 4GB kits. After that, about one month later to be precise, it brought out an 8GB 1333MHz kit with Aluminum heatsinks, thermal sensors on each module, CL9 latencies, 1.5V power requirements and ROHS, WEEE, CE and FCC certifications. Now, the company has shifted its focus to the mobile PC market.
With all the new mobile CPUs that have show up recently, it makes complete sense for hardware makers to show off new RAM solutions designed to be paired with them. What Mach Xtreme has to show is a pair of high-grade SO-DIMMs of high capacities, namely 2GB and 4GB. They are meant to be used in notebooks, both regular and ultrathin models, and should turn out to be quite the asset when paired with the latest Intel or AMD central processing units.
For those interested in numbers, the two SO-DIMMS have speeds of 1,333MHz and CL9 latencies. This performance is possible even with a power draw of 1.5V. Mach Xtreme intends to start selling these 2GB and 4GB modules by the end of the ongoing month, for $63 and $151, respectively. Both will be backed by a lifetime warranty. At present, it is unknown how long it will take for the products to show up as options in high-end laptops.
