Manufacturers with the information on eight GB DIMM modules for desktops do not go hausieren yet, but demand is here and there more to learn. So also aData and Kingston will offer in addition to crucial that set to Micron chips this year 8 GB modules, but use chips from Elpida.

AData will offer the modules with effective clock rates of 1,333 and 1,600 MHz and a memory voltage of 1.35 volts in the mid to late June. With Kingston, it will take slightly longer if not like in March adopted also by the next year. End of the third or beginning of the quarter quarter are expected there with the introduction, probably initially only 1,333 MHz and 1.5 volt memory voltage. So far you have made only around 50 modules for Intel validation of the new “Sandy Bridge E” serve platform. Two manufacturers, it is but to hear that the prices will be initially very high. Kingston speaks of approximately $ 300 per module. A wider availability is expected in the coming year.

AData shows the XPG series DDR3L 1333G referred 8 GB modules already in a demo system at the Computex booth. You work with a memory voltage of only 1.35 volts with effectively 1,333 megahertz and timings of 9-9-9-24. The DDR3-1600 variant works with the same timings and also 1.35 volts. Market, they should cost about twice as much as an 8-GB Kit.
