AMD Radeon Memory ???

[imamage]

Just saw this one AMD website
http://www.amd.com/us/products/techn...on-memory.aspx
AMD Radeon Memory

2GB DDR3-1333 ........isn't that a tad slow to pair with APU

P.S. : The local dealer have the memory in stock , for the sake as "AMD" fan , I bought a pair , the memory chip have been marked "AMD"
I have no clue what chip they based on , btw it's single side DDR3-1333 2GB

[BeepBeep2]

Oh dear. 1333 CL9 and 1600 CL11 @ 1.5v +- .075v

Those timings make me want to destroy things.

[freeloader]

OMG....absolutely abysmal memory.

[SkullCracka]

its all marketing just like the use to mark ram for intel or even made for crossfire...... example >>> http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=8711

[eXa]

And not even 4gb >_<

DDR2 1066 CL5 is like 1600 CL7 as far as decency for the time period.

1600 CL11 is not.

If AMD interested on promote the Radeon memory
I hope they should at least make use of AMD OverDrive "Black Edition Memory Profile" function
with "Performance" series ( DDR3-1600 Default SPD CL11-11-11 but B.E.M.P. should have tighter timing as "option" )

How about a high res shot of IC's, maybe they are just being really really conservative.

As you requested
They have "remarked" the chip as "AMD"

P.S. : It's Single Side RAM ,

[EniGmA1987]

Tested to the highest quality standards

Thats why it is JEDEC speeds and timings.

Also, are those Elpida chips maybe?

[El Gappo]

Ewwwwwww, you really don't want to be pairing that stuff with an APU.

Thats why it is JEDEC speeds and timings.

Also, are those Elpida chips maybe?

They sure look like it.

[Smartidiot89]

Doesn't surprise me at all AMD follows JEDEC standards.

[PatRaceTin]

hmmmmmmmmmmm did anyone test it yet?

[undone]

AMD want to enter memory market segment though. Wish they release more powerful and compatible APU memory later.

I have a pair , IMHO it's just regular DDR3-1333 , I can't get it stable at DDR3-1600 (w/ CL11-11-11 ... doesn't work , memtest Fail after 5% )
My Transcend DDR3-1333 4GB (Hyrix chipset) perform better than the AMD pair
at least the 4GB pair run fine with DDR3-1600 CL9

Not stable at 1600 11-11-11?

That's got to be the worst ram I've ever seen. That's worse than not being able to stabilize DDR2 at 800 5-5-5

[Don_Dan]

The chips look like Elpida OEM chips, and the PCB is the JEDEC reference PCB.

And you can't even get your kit stable at 800MHz CL11? Wow.

[G.Foyle]

PCB looks like JEDEC reference, Kingston was (is?) using it too.

Yes, you're right. After looking through some of the pics I've collected a blue version of this PCB is used for Elpida and Hynix memory as well, not only Kingston value RAM.

Edited my first post.

[ASharp]

NCIX has these modules for $10 for 2GB if any Canadians want to get their hands on some.

I have no clue , maybe my Crosshair V doesn't really match up ( I can't get decent memory clock with my PSC based GEIL EVO Two , weird BIOS)
The funny part is, even my Transcend 4GB DDR3-1333 (Hyrix) perform better

I may try the ram again on other board, maybe try again with F1A75-V PRO with APU

[Dumo]

Perfect for daily 24/7 rig...$40 for 8GB

990 chipset?
isnt crosshairv an 890?

just saying you may have a good point there.

what I dug up
AMD partnered with virage logic in 2010 just before synopsis bought them.
AMD was using embedded memory designs for their chips, likely the APU faire.

http://www.synopsys.com/Solutions/In...s/default.aspx

looks like synopsis bought virage

so heres my take. AMD gets synopsis to design a memory with the consideration of APU through put.
take some DDR3 adust a few things here and there and slap a brand on it becuase at some level AMD had to make design proposals and changes. They didnt have to reinvent the wheel they just went to a wheel maker with some design modifications.
either that or its quimonda Its very hard to find tsmc memory partners.

http://www.simmtester.com/page/news/...deal&num=12621
qualcomm partners with GF for memory at smaller nodes.

http://www.globalfoundries.com/design/memory_ip.aspx

virage in both camps.

They wont go out of house for APU specific memory, its not efficient.
But the integration of virage embedded, and in house ram makers explains the initial offering.
They want entry level stability hence its freaking cheap ram.
we could see a later evolution thats more tweakable, so,,,, the silent debut.

[undone]

I have a pair

How much?

Crosshair IV is 890FX and V is 990FX
