As some of you might remember, during our visit at CeBIT 2010, we had the chance to have a very interesting conversation with Mark Tekunoff, who's been developing RAM memory modules for Kingston for quite a long time now. And one of the issues that came at hand (besides the LoVo series, which we already talked about in one of our previous articles) was related to Kingston's HyperX dual-channel DDR3 memory kit and the level of performance it was able to deliver.

Also, we were able to attend a live demo of the respective kit, which, once again, proved quite consistently the level of performance the components are able to deliver in a variety of real-life situations (although I'm not really sure that many of you like to resize ultra large-size photos provided by NASA as a hobby).

Well... the conversation had a point, since the memory manufacturer has just announced the fact that the respective kit (part number KHX2400C9D3T1K2/4GX, to be perfectly accurate) has just received Intel's XMP certification on the Core i7 platform and was also declared the world's fastest memory, since it's clocked at 2,400 MHz.

According to Kingston, their 2400MHz kit runs at 9-11-9-27-2 timings at 1.65 volts and was developed for enthusiasts, gamers, overclockers and benchmarkers, namely those people who are willing to push the limits of hardware way beyond stock values and are not afraid to spend some extra cash in order to do so. The memory was tested to great success on several P55-based systems including the GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard, and all the tests consistently proved the speed and level of performance it enables.

The HyperX DDR3 kit from Kingston is scheduled to arrive on the market at some point in Q2, 2010, but pricing details are not yet available, unfortunately (expect them to be pretty expensive, though, given their level of performance and target audience).
