14 DAY TRIAL // Mushkin Enhanced has now followed up on that product launch with yet another memory kit for the performance segment. The new addition to the company's memory-product lineup is the 996829, a dual channel DDR3-2000 Channel Blackline Kit for Intel's LGA1156 platform. The new memory solution has a total capacity of 4GB and is designed for the PC3-16000 speed specification. Both 2GB modules have been hand-tested by Mushkin engineers for quality assurance and have a CL7 level performance.
Of course, as it can be deduced from the product's name, the two modules that make up the 996829 operate at a clock frequency of 2000MHz and have latencies of 7-10-8-27, among the tightest latencies out of all 2000MHz Redline and Blackline kits. This new memory product comes after the company released, back in January, another trio of Blackline DDR3 for the Intel LGA1156 and LGA1366 platforms. Those kits provided 8GB or 12GB of memory and also operated at 2000MHz.
Mushkin Enhanced describes the new dual-channel DDR3 memory kit as “an elegant solution for the PC3-16000 specification while simultaneously boasting Mushkin Enhanced's unparalled quality level.” The product will operate best on Intel's Core i5 or Intel Core i7-based systems and runs on a voltage of 1.65V. Furthermore, the company designed its products with the Mushkin Blackline Frotsbyte heatspreader, for better reliability and a longer product life.
“Our newest DDR3-2000 kit is a real accomplishment for us. It offers the best of both worlds: top-tier performance with the reliability and stability our customers expect.” Brian Flood, director of product development, shared.
As it was the case with the Blackline kits launched in January, there is no clear information on the availability, but the Mushkin 996829 4GB DDR3-2000 Blackline kit should become available in the near future, at a price of roughly $180. The memory maker is offering the kit with a lifetime warranty.
