Corsair sets world record for DDR3 speed

Of Cors!

A NEW WORLD RECORD for DDR3 frequency on a Core i7 system has been set by Corsair Labs.

The memory maker said its labs managed to reach the speed of 2533MHz with memory timings of 7-8-7-20 using a DDR3 triple-channel 6GB memory kit, independently verified and validated by industry-standard tool, CPU-Z.

Corsair says this is the first time such a high frequency has been achieved on a Core i7 system with 6GB of memory using three modules, as most world record attempts to date have used just one 1GB module.

The record was set using GT 2000C7 memory with eVGA's X58 3X SLI Classified motherboard, Corsair HX1000W power supply and the recently announced Corsair Storage P256 SSD. So Corsair labs didn't exactly skimp on the system.

Corsair noted its Dominator GT modules gave the team a noticeable overclocking advantage due to their patent-pending DHX+ (Dual-path Heat eXchange) heatsink tech, which cools both front and back of the memory ICs, as well as the printed circuit board.

Getting a bit of a product plug in, Corsair also pointed out that its DHX+ modules sport removable heatsink fins, allowing punters to use a range of different cooling options, like Corsair's own Cooling Hydro Series H30 waterblock or Ice Series T30 thermo-electric cooler, for instance.

1 Terrabyte/cm in 5th Demension....NEW Today!!!

This IS NO Joke Folks, Hatachi & INPhase, Holographic Data marketer, Hace already plyed Dr. Gu from U.K. to Fork Over Tech. Don't sign for less than Billion, Gu.

Multiple data patterns can be written and read within the same area in the material without interfering with each other. Using three wavelengths and two polarizations of light, the Australian researchers have written six different patterns within the same area. They've further increased the storage density to 1.1 terabytes per cubic centimeter by writing data to stacks of as many as 10 nanorod layers. In a paper published online today in the journal Nature, Gu's group reports recording speeds of about a gigabit per second.

"You can record each bit by one laser pulse," says Gu. The writing laser melts and reshapes the gold particles, which are less than 100 nanometers long. The changes affect how the nanorods interact with light from a laser-imaging system, allowing the data to be read.

The Australian researchers tailored the gold nanoparticles to respond to different wavelengths of light by controlling their dimensions. When pulsed with a focused beam of green light, for example, some of the nanorods will change shape, while others very close by but of a different size will not be affected.

Mow on Corsair ddr3. Good, 40% more than ddr2 800. ddr2 1066 Mb/s be bit less, by ~38 Mb/s Core, of this High Powered ddr3 Memory rate.. Corsair IS Leading edge.
lets see. 2533 divided by 2= 1266.5 /2= 633 /2= 316.5 Core Memroy Frequency.(ddr2 1066 is 266 Mhz/s core) NOT Bad from souped up ddr3 2000 sticks. MaMa. Jack Armstron Lives.

Dr VD

You're making too much sense just lately. Please make your sentences less coherent!

does it make any difference?

I see lots of Mega hurts, but does this high frequency DRAM make anything run faster? I guess if they sent me their rig I could test it out and see?

Fast memory?

I thought NASA held the speed record for memory.... and CPUs, and power supplies, etc. Some of their interplanetary probes go REALLY fast.

I don't think they're using DDR3 yet, though. Probably still using SDR.

One thing to get a CPUz screenshot

and quite another to run memtest86+ for 24 hours without an error

Only the latter will guarantee trouble free gaming, memory errors will crash your kit.

I have 4x1 1800 DDR3 but it will only run 1500 on an X38, I am told this is normal

They want to raise expectations to sell stuff, but this creates disappointment as a bitter aftertaste.
