QimondaAG (NYSE" title="NYSE">NYSE: QI), a leading global memory solutions company,today announced it is supporting NVIDIA Corporation’s nForce 790i SLI platform with its new 1GBAeneon" title="Aeneon">AeneonXTUNEtmDDR3-1600" title="1600">1600DRAM modules. The combination of NVIDIA’s first DDR3 ready platform and Qimonda’s DDR3 memory technology offers gamers a path to intelligent scaling of graphics performance.
Qimonda has tested its Aeneon XTUNE 1GB DDR3 modules at overclock rates greater than 1680 MHz using a nominal supply voltage of 1.5V. The ability to provide high-level gaming performance at low voltage reduces the amount of power consumed and the heat generated, which reduces cooling requirements and can enhance system reliability and life expectancy.
“Gamers constantly look for ways to stretch system performance to get the best experience, and running system components at greater than specified speeds is a common technique for achieving that goal,” said Bryn Young,Director Memory Sales and Marketing, NVIDIA Corporation. “Qimonda has demonstrated its XTUNE DDR3 memory modules operating at impressive overclock rates while maintaining the nominal 1.5V supply voltage.”
“Qimonda leverages an inherent power saving advantage in its chip design, along with module design experience, to allow overclockers to reach maximum performance,” said Dr Carsten Gatzke, Vice President of Qimonda’s Channel and Retail Business Unit. “In conjunction with the NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI platform, the Aeneon XTUNE modules will allow gamers to obtain maximum enjoyment from their systems. This support is significant as it reflects our commitment to make our foray into the gaming market with the Aeneon XTUNE series which is specifically developed for the PC gamers and enthusiasts.”
