Corsair annuncia DDR PC3200 cas2
Con questa press release, Corsair annuncia i nuovi moduli DDR PC3200 con latenza CAS a soli 2 cicli.
Fremont, CA, July 31, 2002: Corsair Memory, Inc., an industry leader in ultra-performance DDR DRAM modules for gaming and overclocking applications, has announced that it is now offering two new eXtreme Memory Speed ("XMS") modules tailored specifically for ultra-performance computing enthusiasts. The first part, Corsair part number CMX512-3200C2, is a 512 MByte module guaranteed to operate at 400 MHz with a Column Access Strobe ("CAS") latency of just two cycles. The second part, part number CMX256A-3200C2, is a 256 MByte DDR DIMM with the same performance specifications.
"Our users constantly tell us that CAS latency is extremely important to overall system performance," stated John Beekley, Corsair's Vice President of Marketing and Applications. "We have confirmed in our lab that aggressive CAS latency and command rate settings provide a greater performance boost with greater performance stability than the same system configured with higher memory bus speed and more relaxed latency settings."
Each XMS3200 module is tested in a test fixture based on a currently popular motherboard based on a performance chip set such as Via's KT333 Athlon, Intel's i845E, or SiS' 645 Pentium IV platform. The testing rig is set to exhaustively exercise the memory at the following settings:
Memory bus speed: 2x200 MHz
CAS latency: 2.0 clock cycles
RAS precharge: 3 cycles
RAS-to-CAS delay: 3 cycles
RAS active to precharge: 6 cycles
Command rate: 1T (1 cycle)
Population: 1 module/system
