A look at DDR2, DDR3 and SSD Products At Cebit 2009

Tradeshow & OC events by thorgal @ 2009-03-11

Memory manufacturers were quite well represented this year at Cebit. SSD drives captured most of the spotlights at the memory manufacturers´ booths, but we did see a lot of interesting DDR3 products as well. Have a look at the most important memory products at Cebit 2009 in the following roundup.

Corsair, Patriot

Corsair

Corsair did have some interesting new products to show at their booth, but I'll let John talk about those in another Cebit roundup. On the memory side, there wasn't a real announcement made, but it was the first time I saw the new Dominator "GT" series in the flesh. Let me tell you : they look awesome !

Corsair centered their memory products around the Core i7 product, featuring several setups loaded with triple channel memory, up to 12Gb (6x 2Gb). With each memory product they aligned a suitable motherboard in the same category.

One of those motherboards is the Foxconn Bloodrage, the ideal companion for the high end Dominator GT series, and not only for the color scheme...

And here they are... the GT's up close and personal...

Strangely enough, Corsair has not really entered the SSD market yet. Gareth did tell us that they are considering such a move, but if they do it, they'll do it right the first time... Corsair does have a toe in the water already though, but did not make much fuss about the product. The S128 does not have the best specs around, but reportedly performs rather nice... a testcase product so we are told.

Patriot

Patriot expanded their triple channel memory kits as well with a new DDR3-2000 memory kit suitable for Core i7. Patriot has partnered up with Futuremark recently, and some qualifying memory kits come bundled with 3D Mark Vantage.

There was a new version of their "Warp" series SSD disk as well at Cebit : up to 256Gb is offered now. The V3 Warp series offers very impressive read and write speeds at 240Mb/s and 160Mb/s respectively.

A strange sight : the Intel SSD drive on show at the A-data booth... we wonder what's behind this ?

More rebadges I guess? Kingston already sells them.

Comment from jmke @ 2009/03/12

but A-DATA also carries their own MLC product lineup?

Comment from Rutar @ 2009/03/12

I don't understand that Intel cannot use the same sales channels for their SSDs and CPUs. I expected them to overrun all other brands in availability (which matters a lot) due the fact that they are Intel. Someone has screwed up.

Nice find about Gskill still selling superior SLC SSDs.
