Corsair Is First Official Licensee for Intel's DDR3 Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) Specification


FREMONT, California, September 14 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Over-Clocking Specification Delivers Maximum Performance for
Enthusiasts and Extreme Gamers When Combined with DHX Technology

Corsair(R) http://www.corsair.com, a worldwide leader in high-performance
computer and flash memory products, today announced they have been licensed
by Intel to use the new Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) certification
logo. The certification will apply to the latest DDR3 modules offered by
Corsair and specifically programmed with the new Intel XMP specification.

Through a significant partnership effort between system manufactures,
motherboard suppliers and memory manufactures, the Intel Extreme Memory
Profile specification is part of a complete eco-system architecture designed
for the enthusiast PC user. The new XMP specification allows both the novice
and the advanced user to easily configure their Intel P35, X38 and future
systems for over-clocking performance. With both built in SPD optimized
profiles as well as the ability to manually adjust timing parameters, systems
can be fine tuned for intense gaming situations or for everyday home
computing applications. The full line of Corsair Intel XMP DDR3 modules will
be showcased at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF), Corsair Booth 343,
September 18-20 in San Francisco at the Moscone Center West.

"Corsair and Intel have worked closely to evolve and develop next
generation DDR3 SPD memory specifications. The Intel Extreme Memory Profile
will open the door to a broader adoption of the DDR3 platform technology,"
said Jack Peterson, VP of Marketing at Corsair. "As the recognized leader in
high-performance enthusiast memory, we are proud to have worked with Intel to
develop this optimized performance specification and to be the first licensee
of the certification program logo," continued Peterson.

Available immediately through Corsair's worldwide authorized dealer
channel, consumers can choose from the following XMP-enabled DDR3 product
offerings:

FAMILY         PART NUMBER      SPEED       LATENCIES      MSPR

Like other Corsair DDR2 products, DDR3 DOMINATOR and XMS3 DHX modules
feature Corsair's patent-pending DHX technology -- an innovative quad-layer
heat sink design that optimizes memory performance and reliability by
maximizing thermal dissipation. With DHX Technology, heat is removed via two
paths -- the leads of the BGA chips into the PCB (convective cooling) and the
back of the BGA packages into the custom designed extruded aluminum heat
sinks (conductive cooling).

All products are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty complete with
customer support via telephone, email, forum and TechSupport Xpress
