welcome to my unboxing of AMD memory but AMD doesn't make memory you might say to which I would reply AMD also doesn't technically make CPUs now that they don't have their own fabs however that does not prevent AMD from qualifying and validating and marketing memory with the right partner so in the case of their CPUs their partners are guys like Global Foundries which is actually a spin-off of AMD's old old fats in this case I am not going to tell you who the partner is for the memory but I think you'll be able to figure it out by the time I'm done with the video so I'm not gonna take a look at the oh shoot what are they called right entertainment performance and radio and great memories separately this is going to be more of an overview of what doesn't what is an AMD memory in general rather than looking at every single grain but entertainment is the lowest end performances the mid grade and then Radeon is the high end so this is performance this is CL 8 1.5 volt 1333 megahertz Ram it says 2 by 4 gig kit you're not gonna find any triple or quantity C PS are all using dual channel controllers from the a sixes and eights the AP use of the world that is combination CPU GPUs on one chip all the way up to their Black Edition FX chips so AMD prefer let's see what they have to say for themselves AMD performance addition DDI ddr3 memory kits are specifically designed for the latest generation AMD processors they utilize the profile heat spreaders for enhanced cooling performance but using high quality pre-screened ICS and vigorously tested these AMD performance additional modules are a hundred percent hand tested for quality assurance backed by a lifetime warranty an industry leading customer support so here's something interesting for you guys I actually do know for a fact that they do use pre-screened ICS and they actually lock it down to a particular build that is to say a bomb bill Bill of Materials so what that means is that every AMD performance 13:33 CLA kit is using pretty much the same components as every other one now okay yeah isn't it always like that you might ask to which I would reply absolutely not you know look at a performance memory brands such as Corsair on the side of their memory you'll often see revision 1.1 1.2 2.1 2.2 2.3 all the way up to I've seen revision numbers as high as double digits on Corsair memory so they are often changing the components which isn't to say that's a bad thing because particularly for high grade memory chips especially back in the ddr2 days it was often necessary to change the components in order to get the yields they needed to hit those high speeds what does that mean if for the end user it means that if you're upgrading you're exactly the same part number might not necessarily even work and dual-channel with your other exactly the same part number but different revision ram it also means if you're building 10 systems at a time and you have five that are one revision and five that are another revision you right mike run into issues where one doesn't work with another which brings us to the point of all of this AMD released memory so that they would be sure that any AMD memory would work in any AMD motherboard without any fuss hold on a second okay miss generation okay built and supported by picture of memory LLC so there you go so yes it is a very very well known lifetime warranty actually still builds modules in north america brand that is building and supporting these for AMD they have black PCBs which i think is a must on anything that you're gonna call performance Edition which is on the other side and then you got your sort of standard part number built by Patriots II it's not really a secret really warranty void if remove you don't take this off there's a little profile he'd saying I think that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at AMD memory
