Fastest DDR3 on the market?

[Rob Williams]

I just received some new Kingston 2GB DDR3 which might just be the fastest stock-speed kit on the market, at DDR3-1375 (PC3-11000) speeds. Yes, a company has already broke JEDEC standard which tops out at DDR3-1333.

I am unsure of the timings, but I assume it will be somewhere in the 9-9-9 area. Will be testing these over the course of the next few days with a review shortly after.

For those also interested, I have ASUS P5K and P5K3 boards, so I'll likely review both together showing direct comparisons between DDR2 and DDR3, since it's essentially an identical board.

Looking forward to it! Make sure to include prices!

Intel's Bearlake (P35) chipset supports DDR3, if the motherboard manufacturer elects to include it. I think that Gigabyte and Asus have just released motherboards with both DDR2 and DDR3 sockets. Be prepared to drop some serious cash, though...

I should correct myself. I said probably 9-9-9, but I was off. It's a low latency kit, so it's 7-7-7-15 1.7v. Will have a review next week.

drewd is right. I think it's too expensive at this point in time.
