Last last year, Kingston unveiled its then-blazing fast HyperX DDR2 RAM modules, and just as you’re finally paying those couple of 2GB kits off, the same company is apparently planning to up the ante. Reportedly, Kingston is looking to reveal its DDR3 1500MHz HyperX and DDR2 800MHz low latency memory modules at Computex, which should play nicely with Intel’s DDR3-friendly Bearlake chipset. The DIMMs are expected to be “nearly twice as fast (over 20Gbps) as today’s highest speed DDR2 counterparts,” and the lower voltage (1.5v compared to 1.8v) claims to provide a “more efficient memory solution for both mobile and server platforms.”
Aside from the newfangled 512MB / 1GB RAM modules, attendees may also catch a whiff of the company’s purported plans to jump in on the flash-based hard drive game. Kingston’s Australia and New Zealand regional manager Vaughan Nankivell was quoted as saying that the outfit has “looked at some of the early adopters and were keen to follow suit.” Of course, pricing and availability deets weren’t fleshed out just yet, but the second week in June isn’t too far away.
