Corsair Dominator 4GB 2GHz
RAM integrators are doing the best they can to provide high quality DDR3 modules, while lowering production costs and that should result into more affordable prices for end-users. However, the big players on the RAM market have also been racing for the highest standard frequencies lately. OCZ was the first to announce a 4GB 2000MHz DDR3 kit and now, after a month, Corsair is ready presents its response in the DDR3 market – the new Dominator 4GB kits clocked at 2000MHz .
The 2x2GB kits will integrate Corsair's improved DHX (Dual-path Heat Xchange) cooling solution that comes with both optimized fins and a dedicated PCB heat sink. OCZ has announced its 2GHz kits in May, but these still remain to be produced in sufficient quantities as the kits can only be found listed at online retailers and availability is still ambiguous. Apparently, the unbeatable price of €370.97 makes it pretty hard to be provided in good stocks.
Corsair, on the other hand, leaves us thinking. According to the Corsair's press release, the new 4GB Dominator DDR3 2000MHz kits will be priced at US$675 when they become available sometime in Q3 2008. Now that doesn’t quite make sense. If Corsair is planning to release these kits as true competitors for OCZ’s kits, why would they price them that high? OK, we know that the Dominator brand is well-known for its overclocking capabilities, but OCZ has also worked at improving this aspect in their modules and they keep prices pretty tight. Anyhow, the new Dominator kit will be showcased at this year's Computex, and I’m sure tests will show us if the Dominator kits are worth that extra money.
