The need for reliable, miniscule storage solutions is surely enough soaring high and Kingston last made news with its Class 10 microSDHC cards. The company has now announced its new HyperX plug and Play series of high performance modules. These offerings claim to be the first ones to scale the higher memory heights that are a part of the second-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs.
The memory is optimized with superior frequencies and when attached to a system with the Sandy Bridge chipset, will intuitively work at 1600MHz or 1866MHz in desktop as well as notebook PCs. The units are programmed using JEDEC-compliant settings, offering 1600MHz and 1866MHz frequency support.
“The HyperX engineering team has been thoroughly innovative in designing a memory module that automatically raises performance with no overclocking steps required,” commented Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston. “By using JEDEC-compliant settings to create performance timings, enthusiasts can max out native frequencies on current Sandy Bridge systems and older DDR3 machines.”
The newest entrants boast of backward compatibility with previously introduced DDR3 systems on the market. The 4GB and 8GB 1866MHz HyperX Plug and Play modules can be picked up for $88 (approx Rs. 3,920) and $163 (approx Rs. 7,262), correspondingly. The HyperX Plug and Play modules can be snapped up via Kingston’s channel of authorized distributors, resellers, e-tailers and retailers. The units are backed by a lifetime warranty and free 24/7 technical support.
The 4GB and 8GB 1600MHz HyperX Plug and Play modules are tagged at $67 (approx Rs. 2,985) and $122 (approx Rs. 5,435), respectively.
