OCZ Reached 2GHz!
Are you sure your DDR2 800MHz memory is still fast? Fast, indeed, but not fast enough. In fact, it may soon become "almost vintage," just as DDR1 memory seems to have become these days. Why? Well, OCZ just reached the 2GHz memory barrier!
Obviously, we're talking about DDR3 memory, and here's what Dr. Michael Schuette, vice president of technology development at OCZ Technology, has to say about this breakthrough: "It is no myth that higher memory densities make it harder to push higher clock frequencies. OCZ Technology pulled off this seemingly impossible task with the release of the world’s fastest high-density memory solution. The new OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Platinum Edition kits combine two 2GB modules for 4GB system density running at 9-9-9 latencies and a record-breaking 2GHz data rate. All of this is achieved at only 1.9V which falls well within the voltage tolerances of any DDR3 memory controller currently on the market."
That should say it all, don't you think? Oh, yeah, you avid upgraders, I know - you want to know the price, don't you? For now, no detailed pricing figure has been made public, but everyone expects to see the 4GB kit selling for over $500, so only a few will probably experience this ultimate memory kit in the coming months, at least until the price reaches a decent level...
