Mushkin Launches Triple-Channel DDR3 kits for Core i7 Processors

Following A-Data, OCZ, Corsair, Patriot, G.Skill, Kingston, Gingle and takeMS, now it’s time to Mushkin to announce the launch of its triple-channel DDR3 kits for the new Intel Core i7 processors. Just to refresh your mind, the memory controller integrated on Core i7 processors provides three memory channels, i.e. it is capable of accessing three memory modules at the same time, in parallel, in order to improve performance – in theory triple-channel architecture provides a 50% increase of available bandwidth compared to a dual-channel architecture running at the same clock rate. So in order to achieve the best possible performance with a Core i7 CPU, you need to install three or six (if your motherboard supports six memory sockets, of course) memory modules.

Mushkin announced the launch of the following kits:
