Corsair rolls out new DDR3 memory kits for Core i5 processors

Written by IT News on 10:08 PM

Corsair, one of the world's largest suppliers of high-performance memory solutions, has recently announced the introduction of some new memory products, designed to provide support for the upcoming Intel P55 platform and next generation i5 Core and Core i7 processors. These new memory modules are available in capacities of 8 GB and 12 GB kit, which provides support for the next generation of Intel processors for desktop computers. Moreover, for better performance, the new
DHX modules are equipped with their own company and cooling technology, the new American Racing Blue fins and highlights.

"Windows 7 early adopters and advanced users require only 8 GB and 12 GB of memory solutions to optimize their computer use," said John Beekley, Vice President Technical Marketing at Corsair. "The 8 GB and 12 GB configurations, these advanced users get the most potential of high performance equipment to get, especially if they often alternate between consuming tasks such as gaming and video production. "

Fremont, California-based memory maker, the new memory kit is available in both dual-channel configurations and Triple channel, which supports all high-performance Intel platforms. Dual-channel configuration, part CMD8GX3M4A1600C8, is designed with four matched 2GB modules, optimized for the upcoming P55 motherboards, some of which have already begun to make his debut. The CMD12GX3M6A1600C8 triple-channel configuration designed with matched 2GB modules for high-end X58 platforms. Both memory kits for Intel XMP-certified profiles vault and 1600MHz speed and CAS latency settings at 8-8-8-24.

Unfortunately, the memory vendor that no information on availability and price of the new DDR3 memory kits. But we feel strongly that they will be available somewhere around the official launch of the new Intel platform.

Intel plans new Core i3, i5 and i7 processors

Written by IT News on 8:07 AM

Intel is preparing the launch of the new mainstream processors, most of which are based on the holding of the next generation of Lynnfield core. The new CPU models are designed for the company LGA 1156 socket, which means that motherboard makers have been busy for them, trying to increase its market share to new signs. In this respect, it seems that we now more complete picture of what has come from Santa Clara, California-based chip maker.

According to a recent news article on space on the site HKEPC, chip maker in the first round of the LGA 1156-compatible processors include three models, quad-core Core i5 750, Core i7 860 and Core i7 870. Core i7 models are designed for high-end systems and boasts speeds of 2.8GHz and 2.93GHz respectively, and an integrated dual-channel DDR3-1333 memory controller, 8 MB L3 cache and a TDP of 95W. Core i7 models support Hyper-Threading technology (ie, support for multi-threaded applications), while the smaller and cheaper Core i5 is the clock at 2.66 and will not Hyper-Threading function.

Later, during the first quarter of 2010, the company has claimed to promote energy-efficient models (at 82W TDP) of the above i5 Core 750 and Core i7 860, with prices said to begin at U.S. $259 and U.S. $337, respectively.

If the company 32nm layout, Intel seems to be the first 32nm LGA 1156-based processors in Q1 2010, making them available in six variants, all of which will be dual-core processors with DirectX 10 integrated graphics processor, DDR3 - 1333 memory controller and TDP on 73W.
