Ultimate Gaming Computer
Talk about an unfair advantage
Overclocking masters, meet your memory. Now there's a new solution on the block designed to make the most hardcore Intel® extreme edition platforms even more powerful. With Intel® Extreme Memory Profiles (Intel® XMP), you get a killer, easy-to-use, high-performance DDR3 memory overclocking tool—no time-consuming manual tuning required.
Intel XMP is a performance-packed expansion of the standard DDR3 memory specification, enabling a robust, overclocking solution designed to take advantage of the mega-gaming features built into Intel® technology-based PCs. If you like to overclock and squeeze every possible ounce of performance from your PC, then memory based on Intel XMP is the solution you need to destroy your enemies and save the universe without breaking a sweat.Δ
Designed for ultimate flexibility, Intel XMP-based platforms offer major advantages for pro gamers, novices, and everyone in between. With predefined and certified memory optimizations built into Intel XMP, overclocking on Intel technology-based PCs is easy right out of the box. Expert users still have the option of manually changing specific parameters for personalized fine-tuning.
Intel® Extreme Memory Profiles
The drill down
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Multiple SPD profiles | Enables preset or user-defined memory profiles that can be selected depending on usage model. For example, an aggressive low-latency profile could be used during intense gaming while the default memory setting can be used for everyday home computing, such as home office or web browsing. |
| Memory vendor specific SPD fields | Enables Memory Module suppliers to program their own capabilities and provide unique value to end users. |
| Easy overclocking (novice) | Enables end users to easily overclock their platforms by selecting the appropriate profile, instead of adjusting individual parameters in BIOS. Reselecting the default profile resets the platform to default setting. |
| Advanced overclocking (intermediate/expert users) | Expert users can manually change specific SPD parameters in the BIOS and save the profiles (platform/BIOS specific). |
| Fail-safe default boot | "First boot" with default JEDEC setting on a platform that supports DDR3 standard JEDEC specification (your standard DDR3 memory frequencies), ensuring base functionality. Then user can enter BIOS and manually change settings or use the Windows*-based Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility. |
What the Experts are Saying:
"It is truly a milestone in personal computing to see Intel support (memory) overclocking."
– Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development, OCZ Technology
"The onboard memory controller of the Core i7 takes the performance of the memory subsystem to new heights. The superb bandwidth and stability of Core i7 and Corsair XMP memory takes enthusiast computing beyond the next level."
– John Beekley, CEO, Corsair, Inc.
