ADATA's 8GB CL9 1600 DDR3 Quad-Channel Gaming Memory

After releasing new solid state drives and USB 3.0 hard drive units, ADATA is now offering a new dynamic random access memory (DRAM) kit as well. 

ADATA has issued an official press release in which it talks about the XPG Gaming V 2.0 1600G 8 GB single and 16GB dual kit memory modules. 

Like so many other products  of their kin, these two have names that do a good job of exposing their primary capabilities. 

The base clock frequency is of 1,600 MHz, which should be more than enough for any game, especially on new Intel X79 motherboards. The latency of 9-11-9-27 is rather good too. 

The products are meant for gamers who want a decent but not absurd amount of RAM gigabytes, although it is perfectly possible for huge capacities to be implemented as well. 

After all, the modules have support for quad-channel configurations, putting the upper limit at 64 GB. 

Furthermore, the ADATA XPG Gaming V 2.0 1600G come with special heatsinks and even use high quality, double copper 8-layer circuit boards. 

“In recent years, gamers and overclockers care about more than just the pursuit of extreme performance. Energy consumption has become a major consideration when purchasing electronic,” said ADATA's Product Planning Department DRAM Project Manager, Alex Wu. 

“The new XPG Gaming V 2.0 1600G 8 GB single and 16GB dual kit memory modules use voltage of only 1.35V, with 9-11-9-27 timing, and are compatible with the latest X79 four-channel platform. They provide gamers with the opportunity to significantly upgrade their RAM all the way to 64 GB, in order to experience faster operation and performance of desktop computers.” 

It is obvious that ADATA wants these things to be bought by people eager to acquire a system based on the Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs. Unfortunately, with said central processors scattered all over the place, chronology-wise, it may find the popularity of the memory lacking for a few months still.
