Corsair and G. Skill Introduce 128 GB (8x16
GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Kits (2)
An average personal computer
nowadays is equipped with 8 GB or
less of DRAM, according to analysts
from DRAMeXchange. Due to the
requirements of Microsoft Windows
10 operating system, 8 GB may be
enough for general-purpose computing. But there are PCs,
particularly at the high-end desktop and workstation level,
which need a lot of memory either for software,
computation, RAM disks or even RAM caches to the point
where motherboard manufacturers are now including such
software in their bundles. To fulfill demand from owners of
high-end desktops, Corsair and G. Skill this month unveiled
their 128 GB quad-channel DDR4 memory kits consisting of
eight DRAM modules.
Corsair and G. Skill's 128 GB DDR4 memory kits are rated
to run at 3000 MT/s per pin data-rate (DDR4-3000) and are
subsequently designed for Intel's X99 platform where the
quad memory bus allows for up to 96 GB/s of bandwidth
with 4 or 8 DIMMs. These quad-channel kits consist of eight
16 GB unbuffered memory modules, which are based on 8
Gb DRAM chips made by Samsung using its 20 nm
fabrication process. The memory sticks fully support Intel
XMP 2.0 SPD profiles and can automatically set their clockrates
when installed into appropriate PCs.
