ASUS Enables World's Fastest-Clocked Memory

Enlarge

The joint efforts of ASUS and G.Skill have resulted in record-breaking performance out of brand new dual-channel DDR3 memory, reaching amazing frequencies of 2.5GHz.

Such speeds have never before been attained for commercially-available DDR3.

Obtaining such speeds on dual-channel DDR3 required quite a significant amount of tuning and experimentation. The feat was finally accomplished on P7P55D-E Deluxe and P7P55D-E EVO motherboards, which have significant overclocking feature enablement built in to their designs.

The DDR3 memory in question was also custom-tailored for performance with Intel's new Core i5/i7, with the clear purpose of making the most of the power potential of these capable processors. The philosophy guiding ASUS and G.Skill hasn't been the mere pursuit of higher speeds, but rather the removal of bottlenecks and limitations that have been holding back productivity and enjoyment for PC users since the earliest days of computing.

The resulting 2.5GHz dual-channel DDR3 kit will be offered by G.Skill as part of the company's Trident product line.
