this is something very very exciting and it goes with something that's also very
0:12
exciting okay so right here this is my beautiful retail box yeah whatever Intel
0:19
socket well LGA 2011 CPU and that's like
0:23
that's a huge CPU I mean here's the iPhone comparison look at that thing
0:28
yeah that's right this thing has just
0:32
the sheer logic calculating part of it is like you know third the size of an
0:36
iPhone so there you go that is what will be powering your new CPU or your new
0:41
computer if you are buying a new computer that is on the very high end
0:44
range it's a six core CPU and this is the RAM that goes with it because that
0:49
CPU that large CPU features a quad
0:53
Channel memory interface so Kingston was
0:56
kind enough to send me a 16 G gab that
1:00
is 4x4 gig DDR3 1600 MHz uh cl9 quad
1:06
Channel hyperx memory kit so these are all Bend to run together in Perfect
1:12
Harmony on Intel's new platform so this is hyperx Genesis got a very beautiful
1:17
heat spreader on it let's just go ahead and flip that over and what I'm very
1:22
very excited about is the fact that not only will Intel's new platform support
1:27
quad channnel memory it'll support
1:30
get this eight dims on a desktop
1:34
platform so you'll be able to take two 16 gig kits like this and run them
1:39
together for 32 gigs of RAM on a desktop
1:42
platform with inexpensive 4 gig dims I
1:46
know crazy um so anyway I think that's pretty much it I think this is actually
1:50
the first time I've looked at hyperx Genesis memory so I'd like my cameram
1:54
man to just come in here and have a close look at that maybe do some like
1:57
pan shots yeah there you go so we've got
2:00
uh our little Kingston guy here we got our hyperx logo is it shining is it
2:05

2:14
