Con l'approssimarsi del lancio dei processori Intel Core i7 si susseguono gli annunci relativi a prodotti compliant con le nuove tecnologie introdotte da Intel nell'ambito di tali cpu e, più in generale, dell'architettura di cui fanno parte, ovvero Nehalem.

Corsair ha reso disponibile una linea di RAM DDR3 pensate per l'abbinamento con i Core i7 ed in particolare per l'impiego in configurazioni triple-channel. I nuovi moduli sono disponibili in kit da 3GB e 6GB e si distinguono per la frequenza operativa che scende dallo stratosferico valore di 1866MHz fino a 1333MHz, passando per 1600MHz.

Questo l'elenco dei kit, comprensivo di product number, in lingua originale.

Corsair, a worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash memory products, announced today that it is launching a full line of DDR3 performance memory products designed for Intel Core i7 processor.

Designed to take advantage of the Core i7 processor’s triple-channel memory controller, Corsair will offer memory solutions supporting three different DDR3 memory speeds in triple memory packs: 1333MHz, 1600MHz and 1866MHz. The 1866MHz Corsair DDR3 modules will be the world’s fastest Intel Core i7 solution. Each memory speed will feature kits of three 1 Gigabyte or 2 Gigabyte modules for a total of 3 Gigabyte or 6 Gigabyte kits. The 1600MHz and 1866MHz DDR3 memory kits will also feature the industry’s highest performance memory technology, Corsair’s patented Dual-Path Heat Exchange (DHX), for maximum performance and reliability. With six total products available, Corsair is launching the most comprehensive product line available for the Intel Core i7 processor.

"Corsair is famous for producing cutting-edge products for new platforms," said Martin Mueller, Senior Director of Engineering at Corsair. "With the Core i7 processor’s new triple-channel memory controller, memory bandwidth is more important than ever, and Corsair goes above and beyond the minimum requirements and delivers real performance gains with a wide range of products."

Corsair’s DDR3-1333 part is available immediately in both 3x1GB and 3x2GB densities. With today’s modern programs utilizing more memory than ever before, Corsair recommends 6GB for optimum performance on the Intel Core i7 platform. Next to launch will be the Dominator DDR3-1600MHz kit, with the DDR3-1866MHz kits to follow just before the official launch of the Intel Core i7 processor.
