14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that Silicon Power is not the only company outing a new batch of memory products, as A-Data is not far behind with the latest update to its XPG Gaming memory line, one that has taken the form of a dual channel kit.
As the XPG Gaming name implies, this new kit, like all of its siblings, is meant to be used in high-end gaming systems that rely on both speed and capacity.
Silicon Power settled for a number of single, dual and triple channel kits of up to 6 GB which lacked actual heatspreaders and ECC, for the most part.
A-Data, on the other hand, went for a more radical approach and created a dual channel kit of 4 GB that should cope with the demands of even the most recent games.
This dual-channel newcomer runs on a current of 1.65 V and is composed of two modules, each with a capacity of 2 GB.
This kit has what can be seen a very high frequency, of 2,400 MHz to be exact, while its latency is of 9-11-9-27.
This combination of the clock with the timings leads to a predicted bandwidth of 38.4GB per second.
“Each XPG Gaming v2.0 Series memory chip is selected through a strict filtering process, complete with superior 8-layer PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and unique TCT (Thermal Conductive Technology) that effectively lowers module temperature,” states the press release.
It is also pointed out that the XPG DDR3 2400G, as it is called, supports Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profiles) “which help provide easy configuration for power users.”
Unfortunately, though the press release did provide most necessary details on the product, it did not give out any sort of information on the price or exact availability, though sales should start to be carried out soon.
