News - Corsair sets another world record for DDR3 frequency

[HEXUS]

6GB triple-channel DDR3 memory kit hits 2,533MHz.

2 things:

1: given that AM3 CPUs can take a chug more voltage than i7 how fast / tight would these run on that?!?

2: Core i7 975 EE? When's that being officially released and how much is it going to cost for an extra 133MHz on top of your 965EE?

Not very, considering they have problems with 1333Mhz ddr3 at the moment on their new platform, and also 1.65V isn't the actual max, it is .5V within of CPU voltage, so they have probably used 1.8-1.9V which is the norm for DDR3.

Anyway, you would need around 3,500Mhz on AM3's dual channel to get anywhere close to triple channel at 2,500Mhz.

The 965 will be EOL'ed and replaced by the 975, which is also a D0, and overclocks much easier. Bet you cannot get any AMD chip prime stable with 4.2Ghz at 1.2Vcore. Someone has that at ocforums.com on their 920 D0.

Where do you get this idea from?? In 90% of applications the tri channel over duel channel make bog all difference.

AMD just need to do more work on the AM3 Phenom memory controller.

What do you mean by this?
