After the latest news of Corsair planning to release its first triple-channel DDR3 memory kits, it looks like A-Data stepped ahead of the game in being the first to announce the Core i7-ready triple-channel DDR3 kits, with almost 5-6 weeks before Intel is expected to officially unveil its next-generation desktop processors. Despite the fact that no specific release date has been made public, it’s a good thing to know that even memory manufacturers are getting ready for Intel's next-generation desktop platform.

Just recently A-Data has introduced a new cooling solution, specifically designed to meet the requirements of the company's performance X series of memory modules. However, with the latest development, A-Data has made one a step further towards its goal of claiming the supremacy in the high-end computer memory market. The announcement of the very first Core i7-ready triple-channel DDR3 kits also comes to confirm that we are getting close to the official unveiling of Intel's Nehalem-based Core i7 processors and its next-generation X58 chipset.

A-Data Vitesta DDR3 triple-channel memory modules

Regarding the specific technical details, the upcoming Vitesta-series kits will be available in both 3GB and 6GB capacities working at 1333MHz and 1600MHz. According to the company, the new Vitesta DDR3-1333MHz and DDR3-1600MHz memory modules have been designed to deliver impressive performance rates, working at latencies of 7-7-7-20 and 8-8-8-24, respectively. They will be offered with a lifetime warranty, and are said to become available later this quarter, although, as noted before, there's no specific date available for the time being.

As mentioned above, A-Data's upcoming Vitesta memory kits have been designed for the next-generation X58-enabled motherboards, which means that they will probably end up in one of those new Core i7 gaming rigs that should become available soon.
