That thing got a Hemi?

Kingston today announced it has developed what it claims is the fastest Intel-certified memory in the world. How fast, you ask? 2400 MHz.

Kingston's speedy HyperX dual-channel DDR3 memory kit (given the charming model name KHX2400C9D3T1K2/4GX) has Intel' XMP certification on the Core i7 platform.

Those who like to tweak their memory will like to know that the 2400 MHz kit runs at 9-11-9-27-2 timings at 1.65 volts as tested on several P55-based systems including the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard.

The 2400 MHz kits will be available sometime in the second quarter.

Update: Our apologies. The wrong photo was used, which was for Skulltrail memory. The correct photo is now in place.

    A pc system would have to be overclocked to make full use of the memory. In addition the extra tall memory heatspreaders can be a royal pain. Sometimes they interfere with the large tower style cpu heatsinks.

    What happened to the Team Group 2400MHz CAS9 modules? O.o

    Although I have to admit, those heatspreaders look awesome. :)

    That's amazing that it can run at those speeds and still stay at 1.65 volts!

    If the price is right then it looks like it's time for an upgrade!

    What do the numbers mean?

    9-11-9-27 ? Meh.. I know Kingston can do better than that =)

    Id rather spend my cash on lower CAS modules even if they are rated at 2000Mhz. Would be nice to see a benchmark though..

    It may not have a Hemi but I know some fanboys that'll get a semi.
