Corsair introduced a new 8GB memory kit for AMD Socket AM3 platforms:
The new 8GB kit (part number CMD8GX3M4A1333C7) is tuned for optimal performance in AMD Socket AM3 platforms, and is comprised of four matched 2GB DIMMs that operate at a frequency of 1333MHz with tight latency timings of 7-7-7-20. The modules also feature Corsair’s unique DHX+ cooling technology and sport green heatsink fins and highlights for the ultimate AMD-compatible look. An Airflow fan with matching green highlights is also included.
"AMD Socket AM3 Phenom II platforms offer enthusiasts phenomenal performance and value for money. With the imminent release of Windows 7, this new 8GB memory kit is the perfect way to optimize your AMD PC for the best performance,” stated John Beekley, Vice President of Technical Marketing at Corsair. "Windows 7 is highly efficient at using extra memory, enabling enthusiasts to run more demanding tasks and games, and run more concurrent applications without slowing down their PCs."
The 1333MHz CAS 7 Dominator kit also supports AMD's Black Edition Memory Profiles (B.E.M.P), which allows for the aggressive latency settings to be automatically configured in Windows using the AMD OverDrive™ software utility.
