That thing got a Hemi?
Kingston today announced it has developed what it claims is the fastest Intel-certified memory in the world. How fast, you ask? 2400 MHz.
Kingston's speedy HyperX dual-channel DDR3 memory kit (given the charming model name KHX2400C9D3T1K2/4GX) has Intel' XMP certification on the Core i7 platform.
Those who like to tweak their memory will like to know that the 2400 MHz kit runs at 9-11-9-27-2 timings at 1.65 volts as tested on several P55-based systems including the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard.
The 2400 MHz kits will be available sometime in the second quarter.
Update: Our apologies. The wrong photo was used, which was for Skulltrail memory. The correct photo is now in place.

Although I have to admit, those heatspreaders look awesome.
If the price is right then it looks like it's time for an upgrade!
What do the numbers mean?
Id rather spend my cash on lower CAS modules even if they are rated at 2000Mhz. Would be nice to see a benchmark though..
And?
It depends as noticed some lower cas lower speed modules can benefit you just the same as a high cas high speed set up but that's usually when you overclock it to get that extra 100Mhz when the cas issue comes into play. A benchmark of it would clear it up.
to be as simple as possible it is just the timing in the ram for several different things. for general purpose the lower the better.

Correct but the price also plays a huge roll, if they come out to be overpriced just cause the provide 400 extra Mhz many will just pass and settle for 2000Mhz with low timings. I have tested 1600Mhz vs. 2000Mhz modules and to be honest the difference is very small, it all comes down to how low you can set the timings while attaining 100% stability.
LOL OMFG!!! That one cracked me up really good!!
I agree a lower latency at lower MHz would be just as fast?
