This is a review of both Asus' P5K3 DDR3 P35 based board, and a review of Corsair's TWIN3X2048-1333C9DHX DDR4 1333MHz memory. We compared took the Asus and Corsair and overclocked them to the very limit of what the RAM could take, and compared it against DDR2. Basically, as a simple example, if you had DDR2-667 memory with 5-5-5-15 timing, that would have exactly the same latency as DDR3-1333 memory with 10-10-10-30 timing, as the latency clock cycles had to go up to compensate for the higher transfer rates because there is no magic. DDR3 is basically DDR2 with an extra level of interleaving on the memory modules, and just because it can clock out the data faster, it does not mean that they managed to increase the basic RAS, CAS and other latencies and since they are now specified relative to a higher speed clock, the number of cycles for specifying latencies get larger.
