The world's fastest RAM reaches 1302 MHz

Patriot Memory in Silicon Valley (USA) plans to release Extreme Extreme PC2-10100 performance module at the CES consumer electronics show next week in Las Vegas (USA).

Extreme Performance has a speed of 1302 MHz while DDR-2 modules are around 667 - 800 MHz. Patriot products bring to the user's system, especially the gaming world, the ability to launch applications quickly.

However, according to Nam Hyung-Kim, an analyst with research firm iSuppli (USA), increasing clock speed can hardly be considered a breakthrough in technology. " Using a fast processor or a powerful graphics card is more effective than speeding up RAM, " Hyung-Kim said.

In addition, high-speed memory is usually more expensive than normal RAM. In addition, it can make chips produce more heat, such as Corsair's US DHX Dominator 1111 MHz module, which sells for $ 400 but is so hot that it needs to be equipped with special heat sinks. 40 mm fan.
