Corsair Launches Triple Pack Memory modules for Intel Core i7 processors
Corsair, a worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash memory products, announced today that it is launching a full line of DDR3 performance memory products designed for Intel Core i7 processor.
Designed to take advantage of the Core i7 processor's triple-channel memory controller, Corsair will offer memory solutions supporting three different DDR3 memory speeds in triple memory packs: 1333MHz, 1600MHz and 1866MHz. The 1866MHz Corsair DDR3 modules will be the world's fastest Intel Core i7 solution. Each memory speed will feature kits of three 1 Gigabyte or 2 Gigabyte modules for a total of 3 Gigabyte or 6 Gigabyte kits. The 1600MHz and 1866MHz DDR3 memory kits will also feature the industry's highest performance memory technology, Corsair's patented Dual-Path Heat Exchange (DHX), for maximum performance and reliability. With six total products available, Corsair is launching the most comprehensive product line available for the Intel Core i7 processor.
"Corsair is famous for producing cutting-edge products for new platforms," said Martin Mueller, Senior Director of Engineering at Corsair. "With the Core i7 processor's new triple-channel memory controller, memory bandwidth is more important than ever, and Corsair goes above and beyond the minimum requirements and delivers real performance gains with a wide range of products."
Corsair's DDR3-1333 part is available immediately in both 3x1GB and 3x2GB densities. With today's modern programs utilizing more memory than ever before, Corsair recommends 6GB for optimum performance on the Intel Core i7 platform. Next to launch will be the Dominator DDR3-1600MHz kit, with the DDR3-1866MHz kits to follow just before the official launch of the Intel Core i7 processor.
Models, and Expected US MSRP

Well I guess ones are enthusiast while the other is mainstream, but oh god what a difference...
i cant wait to see tests on these, i mean corsair three way channel ddr3 sounds sexy :toast:
wtf
But as you said the 1600mhz one is probably at 8-8-8-21.... guess? or your pretty certain?? crossed fingers that its sumin like 7-7-7-20
grrrr corsair should be better than this.

These are the latencies etc etc.
Still bad and it shows that the 1600mhz 3gb and 6gb is at the lowest latencies at 8-8-8-24, ouch. Whilst the 18000mhz dominator and 1333mhz XMS3 are at 9-9-9-24.
Also, only the 1600mhz 3gb and 6gb have been added to their website... take a look;

At 1.65v on the spot as well.
EDIT: I'm kinda suprised at why Corsair's XMS3 1333mhz isnt at 7-7-7-20 because OCZ has.
For some reason Corsair put the XMS3 1333mhz at 8-8-8-24 (if your thinking that lowering the speed will give better latencies)
