Kingston Technology to Support AMD Athlon 64 product family for Socket AM2 Platforms with New DDR2 800 MHz ValueRAM Modules
Fountain Valley, CA May 15, 2006 -- Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the release of DDR2 800-MHz (PC2-6400) ValueRAM memory modules to support select socket AM2 desktop processors. Kingstons new DDR2 800-MHz ValueRAM modules are available in capacities up to 2 GB and are the next generation evolution of DDR memory technology, featuring faster speeds, higher data bandwidths, lower power consumption, and enhanced thermal performance over DDR.
Kingston worked with AMD and partners during the development of DDR2 based platforms which will support DDR2 memory. While the socket AM2 platforms support standard DDR2 533-MHz and 667-MHz, they also have the capability to support DDR2 800-MHz modules. Kingstons longstanding relationship with AMD allows us to introduce high performance memory technology and bring our latest DDR2 based memory technologies to the market, together, said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston. Kingstons DDR2 800-MHz ValueRAM, combined with the AMD Athlon 64 product family will create the ideal high performance computing PCs for customers desktop and workstation applications, added Tekunoff.
We are pleased to see Kingstons introduction of their DDR2 800 MHz ValueRAM memory that supports socket AM2 platforms enabling the next generation of computing performance", said David Schwarzbach, Division Marketing Manager, Desktop Division, AMD. The transition between DDR memory and DDR2 memory modules is coming a at the right time for customers. As a customer centric company, we studied the market and determined that now was the best time to move to DDR2 due to price, availability and performance.
800-MHz DDR2 ValueRAM Features:
- Tested at 800 MHz
- 1.8 Volts operation, delivering 50% less power usage.
- Memory signal termination inside the memory chip to prevent reflected signal transmission errors.
- CAS Latency: 5
