AMD Announces Gaming-Series Radeon DDR3 Memory.

Among most folks AMD is solely known as a manufacturer of CPU's, APU's, GPU's, and some chipsets, but the truth is AMD has been also expanding to a number of other product lines. For example, AMD has already been producing memory for a while now. Of course, AMD will likely not be manufacturing the memory itself though, but rather rebrand some trusted and verified DIMMs.

The existing lineups include AMD Radeon Value Series memory, Radeon Entertaiment Series memory, and Radeon Performance Series memory, which run at speeds of 1333 MHz, 1600 MHz, and 1866 MHz, respectively. Now though, AMD is introducing the Radeon Gaming Series memory, which runs at 2133 MHz.

According to AMD, this memory can boost frame rates in games up to 22 percent compared to its Entertainment series memory, although this was tested on an APU system, so the advantage would likely be less on systems with discrete graphics cards. Using AMD's RamDISK software, AMD also claims that the system can enjoy up to a 65 percent performance improvement in read and write speeds.

AMD's Radeon RG2133 Gamer Series memory kit will come with four DIMMs of 4 GB each, and run on timings of 10-11-11-30 at 1.65 volts. The kit should hit the market this month with an MSRP of $155.

I have better timings on my Sammy Greens and speeds too :D
 
LOL, so AMD are doing wut as far as this is concerned... re branding speeds of memory that are years old and trying to make them look innovative!?

Who do they re brand? Whatever their oem is with memory, I would like to see how AMD's re branded crap compares against the manufacturer's products especially at the same price bracket!
 
Its not that bad tbh, $155 for 16gb 2133 cl10. Might grab a kit see how they clock up against my cl9 ripjawsz of the same speed :)

Don't the A8/A10's etc... gain huge benefits from fast memory? Probably what this is aimed at.

Edit, 10-11-11 4gb dimms iirc from 8 packs guide suggests Samsung ic's.
 
^ These RAM sticks do come with both AMP and XMP profiles so they are compatible with AMD and Intel platforms. However, the 22% gains is specious because that is only with APU type chips; AMD CPUs have small gains with higher frequencies and Intel CPUs have virtually none.
 
I thought some recent findings showed gains of up to 10% from faster memory on Intel's latest platforms?

I might be trying it too, quite a nice deal. Also imo yeah it's apu targeted in a sense, i've seen quite a lot of people get apu's recently so I guess it'd be good for them
