Corsair unveiled their DDR3 lineup during Computex. rated speed of 1066 till obscene 1600mhz!

but their latency doh.gif , too loose. 10-8-8-24 for ddr3 12800!!

CORSAIR ANNOUNCES WORLD'S FASTEST DDR3 MEMORY

Optimized for Current and Future Intel Platforms, Corsair demonstrates production-ready DDR3-1600 DOMINATOR and previews next generation speed grade at DDR3-2000


COMPUTEX - Taipei, Taiwan (June 4, 2007) - Corsair(R) http://www.corsair.com, the worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash memory products, today unveiled the world's fastest production DDR3 memory rated at a blazing-fast 1,600MHz (PC3-12,800) and the world preview of the Corsair DOMINATORTM memory running at 2,000MHz (PC3-16,000). Live demonstration of the new DOMINATOR memory will be on display in the Corsair VIP suite (#1334) at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The TWIN3X2048-1600C10D DOMINATOR is the latest addition to the Corsair line of high-performance memory modules. Also on display is the upcoming generation of DDR3 DOMINATORs, ranging from 1GB modules running at over 2,000MHz and 2GB modules showing performance promise for 64-bit based applications. All DDR3 products have been developed to support the new Intel(R) P35 and X38 Express platforms, ensuring customers of an extreme user experience whether for gaming or applications with high computing needs.

The TWIN3X2048-1600C10D DOMINATOR will be available shortly after Computex. Both XMS3 DHX and XMS3 Classic products are currently available through Corsair's worldwide authorized dealer channel.


All DDR3 modules operate at lower memory voltages to deliver better performance with the same amount of power when compared to DDR2. Dynamic I/O Signal Termination and On-die Dynamic Termination (ODT) reduce the reflective signals transmitted to standby RAMs, thereby enabling support for higher memory frequencies. A larger prefetch means more data is immediately available for the processor and the differential data strobe reduces noise while accessing data, especially at higher frequencies.

    "Corsair is supporting the industry's transition to DDR3 with a full line of highly-engineered memory solutions. Our partnerships with leading technology companies and suppliers have allowed us to be first-to-market with the world's fastest production DDR3 memory and demonstrating our next generation DOMINATOR running at 2GHz," said Jack Peterson, VP of Marketing at Corsair. "DDR3 memory technology brings scalability and features that DDR2 cannot deliver. The fact that we are able to realize 50% more memory speed rating at launch compared to the standard DDR3-1066 specification is simply stunning." continued Peterson.

Like their DDR2 brethren, DDR3 DOMINATOR and XMS3 DHX feature Corsair's patent-pending DHX technology - an innovative quad-layer heat sink design that optimizes memory performance and reliability by maximizing thermal dissipation. With DHX Technology, heat is removed via two paths - the leads of the BGA chips into the PCB (convective cooling) and the back of the BGA packages into the custom designed extruded aluminum heat sinks (conductive cooling).

    "The enthusiast community demands solutions that push the envelope and are capable of delivering the highest level performance experience, and very fast DDR3 is the next step in delivering cutting-edge computing," said Steve R. Peterson, Director of Chipset & Graphics Marketing, Intel. "We work closely with Corsair to help deliver a cutting edge experience for the enthusiast power user. Corsair's release of the new DDR3-1600 DOMINATOR memory, combined with an Intel P35 or X38 Express chipset based motherboard, plus an Intel Extreme Edition CPU, shows just how exciting platforms based on DDR3 will be."

wrong super pi relies on bus speed and ram bandwidth and then u keep increasing the multipliers...

try it, 9x400 vs 8x450...
both at same ram speed
then try different ram speeds with fixed bus speed and multi

superpi result also depend on latency. tighter, better. 1T and 2T huge different too.

actually many benchmark betweeen ddr2 and ddr3 ram already surfaced.

example, from anandtech
http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2989

as usual, new stuff doesn't show much improvement compared to older generation.

SUPER pi get affected by RAM bandwidth also. i try my DDR400 RAM. i decrease the RAM speed to 176MHz(352MHz) and do the SUPER pi, i raise the speed tp 210Mhz(420Mhz) and do the calculation again. the processor speed is still the same. the result is that the higher RAM speed is 4 seconds faster than lower RAM speed. i try lower the processor clock speed (by 200Mhz), and raise the RAM speed to 466MHz, the result is the same as the 420Mhz RAM and 200Mhz faster processor speed.

bleh, i am still very happy with my ddr1 ram rather. Its working for me. I have no need for even a ddr2 ram. So probably i will wait till ddr3 settles down which will probably take another1 year then ill get a new system which might cost the same buying components which are for ddr2 ram.
