Things tend to move quickly in the world of desktop memory, and just weeks after Kingston announced a blistering 2,400MHz DDR3 memory kit, G.Skill has followed up with an alternative that'll hit 2,500MHz.
The impressive speed is offered by a dual-channel DDR3 Trident kit, which G.Skill tells us is designed specifically for Intel Core i7 860 or 870 processors on ASUS motherboards. We reckon other-brand boards should be up to the challenge, but G.Skill tested the modules at 2,500MHz on ASUS's P7P55D-E Deluxe and P7P55D-E EVO, hence the recommendation.
Operating at the required 1.65V, G.Skill's 4GB (2x2GB) kit runs at reasonable latencies of 9-11-9-28. There's no denying the record-breaking speed, but there's no mention of pricing or availability as yet. Expect to pay a healthy premium when these bad boys filter through to retail, though.
