Out of the 3 pieces of heatspreader related news today, I like the looks of these the best. On a side note, was there some sort of ram press event today? What's with the timing here.

That's what I was wondering...I assumed there was some type of event going on that I was unaware of.

I doubt they will match the performance of the first Blade DDR3 series with the long-gone but never-forgotten Elpida Hyper chips.
