Kingston Achieves Unprecedented Memory Speeds with DDR3

soumya · 01-03-2008, 02:56 PM

Kinston Technology, a leading supplier of memory modules, demonstrated on Thursday its ability to overclock its HyperX DDR3 memory modules to unprecedented clock-speed with the help of a mainboard running Nvidia Corp.’s next-generation core-logic that supports DDR3 memory.

The memory module maker overclocked its HyperX PC3-16000 (KHX16000D2K2/2G) memory modules from their default clock-speed of 2.0GHz to 2.13GHz using a mainboard powered by yet unannounced Nvidia nForce 790i core-logic for Intel Corp.’s processors. At press time it was unclear which latency and voltage settings were set.

nice news...

Superb

praka123 · 01-03-2008, 08:09 PM

Ermm...ddr-II is just becoming common that ddr-III to be enforced ?

wastage?

redhat · 01-03-2008, 08:10 PM

Awesome news man....
Just waiting to get my hands on 'em

nvidia · 01-03-2008, 08:12 PM

^^Will be **** expensive....
Gotta wait for atleast a year before they become affordable

The Conqueror · 01-03-2008, 08:16 PM

@nvidia : u need to wait for more than that , will take atleast 2-3 yrs

**MetalheadGautham** · 01-03-2008, 09:49 PM

When will 2GHz DDR3 memory be available in India ? If it comes ator below 2K, I don't think it will be a bad investment.

nish_higher · 01-03-2008, 09:58 PM

2*1gb kingston value costs almost 12000rupees

and i think its 1066mhz only

hullap · 01-03-2008, 10:00 PM

gr8 cant w8 to get hands on them

The Conqueror · 01-03-2008, 10:56 PM

i wonder when DDR4 will release

GDDR3 is there in every respectable graphics card

and sadly, PCs are faaaaaaaaar behind.
its even surprising to note that by subtracting costs for graphics cards of the same model from the same company with different RAMs, you may find that 512 mb GDR3 ram costs only Rs. 1000 extra

So PC DDR3 ram is still highly overpriced.

There's the might of Micron D9GTR right there

Interfacing DDR3/4/5 etc. with the gfx card components is easier than doing the same on the mobo. There are so many constraints. Its not an easy job. It'll take time hence the cost and lag on PC platform.

In fact if you take any high end gpu you will find that in RAW tests it outperfoms even the fastest CPU in pure number crunching.

know that. But GPU these days is like a mini mobo, with all components attached to each other and working together. This makes us think. Isn't the motherboard technology of today in a bad state ? I keep wishing there was a way to go back in time and save the Amiga and kill the PC. An amiga would have evolved to a much larger extent by now than a PC.

No it is not! A mobo has so many components interconnected which you can't even think of!

What makes you think the PC hasn't evolved???

1. agreed, but anything can be improved. Bill Gates once said 512 kb of disc space ought to be enough for anybody, and contradictors were kicked on the a$$. But now he laughs it off.

2. ..........

3. Read point #1. Do we have a seperate section of reserved hardware for a built in sandbox security that tries every thing on this sandbox before executing them on the main computer, and checks if they are fit to be executed ? Do all motherboards come with hardware firewalls ? Due to commercialisation a lot many things were slowed down in developement of computers.

infra_red_dude · 02-03-2008, 01:08 AM

Dude, apart from giving users the technology to play with they also haf the cost constraint!!! So they need to strike a balance between the two.

How costly were Amigas and what about present day PCs? They need to take care of cost considerations too.

One word reply: 8800GTX

it was a huge money hog. Yet it was powerful and had a market.
plus, once it came out, they started developing it more and out came 8800GT, the most VFM card ever.
only if you start something will there be an end result achieved.

dOm1naTOr · 02-03-2008, 01:25 AM

@nvidia
HyperX will never be cheap, no matter how long u wait. When they are about to get cheap[after being aged technology], it gets discontinued and another product or technology replaces it and price ll again shoot.
HyperX is an enthusiastic product.

infra_red_dude · 02-03-2008, 01:26 AM

Aren't they doing the same? First test the limits of DDR3 thru tests like these and then make it affordable? These steps need to be in an order and thats whats happening. Patience, sir.. patience

Patience is a quality difficult to achieve in today's age when everybody wishes there were 48 hours a day

x3060 · 02-03-2008, 02:16 AM

thats rightly said . . patience is one thats missing in todays world

I think he said 640KB not 512

Btw, whats an amiga?
