As with any new chipset launch we see companies release a new line of
memory. What's interesting about the latest Ivy Bridge / Z77 launch,
though, is that for the most part we don't really need new RAM for the
new platform.
With no changes in the requirements for the
voltage needed along with the same dual channel nature, there's not a
big need for new kits. Saying that, something Intel's Ivy Bridge
platform does bring to the market is a stronger memory controller then
we've currently seen to date.
The new memory controller is
helping us achieve speeds that we hadn't seen before and for that
reason we're seeing companies bring a new range of extremely high
performance kits to the market and in typical fashion, one of the first
is G.Skill.
The Trident name isn't a
new one, but the new TridentX version is and as you can see above we've
got a new heatsink design to go with the name. It's nothing too crazy
and doesn't look too bad. It's not my favourite G.Skill heat spreader to
date, but overall it looks pretty good. The main thing I love is the
fact that we continue to have a black PCB which is always a highlight
when it comes to G.Skill kits of memory.
