Transcend intros 4 GB memory kits

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Transcend Information Inc., today announced the launch of 4GB aXeRam DDR3-2000 memory kits for use with Intel’s LGA1156 Core i5 and Core i7 platforms.

The XMP-ready DDR3 kits are designed to operate at frequency of 2000 MHz with low voltage of 1.65V.

Featuring memory bandwidth up to 32GB/s, Transcend's new aXeRam dual-channel memory kit would allow performance enthusiasts and gamers to take their Intel Core i5 platform to the next level of memory overclocking performance, said a press release.

The Core i5, based on Intel’s new Nehalem architecture, is the first Intel processor to integrate both a 16-lane PCI Express 2.0 graphics port and a two-channel DDR3 memory controller, enabling all input/output and manageability functions to be handled by the single-chip Intel P55 core-logic.

Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC and APAC, Transcend, said “To ensure extra stability and signal integrity at high clock speeds, all aXeRam modules are comprised of 128Mx8 high-quality DDR3 FBGA chips and use robust eight-layer PCBs that fully comply with rigorous JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standards.”

“ The aXeRam DDR3 memory modules use premium DRAM chips and high thermal efficiency aluminum heat sinks with cooling fins to delivering amazing overclocking performance while maintaining cool temperatures,” he added.

The memory kit includes two identically matched DDR3 2000MHz modules and is now available in 4GB (2GBx2) capacity. They are priced at Rs. 13, 500 and come with lifetime warranty, the release said.
