It’s no secret that Intel’s upcoming Nehalem processor and X58 chipsets are going to be a departure from x86 norms. To date, one of the most publicized challenges faced by companies hopping on the Nehalem bandwagon is the problem posed by its memory requirements. It likes fast DDR3, but it doesn’t tolerate the high voltages today’s fast sticks require.

Today, OCZ is the first company to try and please this picky eater. They’ve introduced the first triple channel DDR3 memory kits that meet Nehalem’s strict voltage diet. The new sticks will be sold in 3GB and 6GB kits as part of OCZ’s Gold and Platinum product lines. Three flavors will be available in both kit sizes. They are:

OCZ PC3-10666 Gold CL 9-9-9-20 1.65V
OCZ PC3-12800 Gold CL 8-8-8-24 1.65V
OCZ PC3-10666 Platinum CL 7-7-7-20 1.65V

We can’t wait to see how these things benchmark.

Intel’s long-awaited Nehalem chips are arriving in small samples at the end of the year. The first new architecture since the Core 2 Duo in 2006, the new chip boasts many exciting features including an integrated memory controller, a new bus architecture, wild overclockability and greatly-enhanced performance.

But, there’s one tiny, teensy little problem: All that high-performance DDR3 will more or less deep six the Nehalem.

While the JEDEC specification calls for voltages no greater than 1.5v, overclocking-happy memory manufacturers have been happy to push 1.8 - 2.1v for the new DDR3 standard. Voltages at these levels, now so closely tied to the chip, are apparently enough to permanently damage the CPU. Vendors are hustling to revamp and recertify their tri-channel DDR3 packages.
