Patriot Launches 12GB Tri-Channel DDR3 1333MHz Kit

First there was a lonely bit, 8 of those joined to form a byte, 1024 of those joined to for a KiloByte, allegedly  640 of those were enough for Bill Gates and it would end there, but that did not happen. Then came MegaByte from 1024 of ? you guessed it , KiloBytes. Cycle continues. 1024 of MegaBytes form 1 Gigabyte, 1024 Gigabytes form 1 Terabyte, 1024 Terabyte form 1 PetaByte, and it continues on into Exabyte,ZettaByte,YottaByte. Lets leave TB’s, EB’s, ZB’s (wow they rhyme !) for now and focus on a GB because thats where we are in the consumer memory market.

12GB that’s the size of memory configuration that Patriot has launched. That is 103 079 215 104 bits. Patriot’s configuration comes in the six 2GB module configuration. They will run at a speed of 1333Mhz and come in both CL7 and CL8. CL is the CAS latency, here’s a quote from wiki which explains what this is.

“CAS latency (CL) is the delay time which elapses between the moment a memory controller tells the memory module to access a particular column in a selected row, and the moment the data from the given array location is available on the module’s output pins.

In asynchronous DRAM, the interval is specified in nanoseconds. In synchronous DRAM, the interval is specified in clock cycles, and must be multiplied by the cycle time (i.e. divided by the clock frequency) to convert to nanoseconds.”
