AMD intros Radeon-branded RAM, gives gamers that coordinated component look

Have an inexplicable lust for all things AMD? Better sit down for this one folks, as your favorite chip company is back, this time peddling Radeon-branded RAM in exchange for your hard earned dough. Tested to the "highest industry" standards, the DDR3 modules will be available in three SKUs: the entry-level "Entertainment" sticks (clocked at 1333MHz), followed by speedier "Ultra Pro" (1666MHz) and an "Enterprise" RAM of an unknown speed. Akiba PC Online! spotted 2GB modules of the lowest tier chilling in Japan for a cool ¥1570 (around $20 stateside), as-well as a US product page (which we've kindly linked below). Small price to pay for memory to match your graphics card -- brand loyalty's a beautiful thing, right guys?

VIA: ANANDTECH
PRODUCT PAGE: AMD

My entire rig is Intel/nVidia but I know a lot of AMD people who will be happy about this. Thanks for the info.

My rig is purely AMD. Always been AMD guy myself. :D So if I can get some of that RAM for 20 dollars... Oh yes!

you'll buy a generic RAM module made in china and an extra AMD sticker on it.

Does all this really matter?

Interesting, I would be interested in seeing some overclocking bench tests. :-k

No I just meant in the world of speed... I mean, do we really have an issue here with speed?

For someone who uses computers like I do speed is always relevant. In memory speed is in overclocking as it is with CPUs so the chip that can be overclocked the most while remaining stable at the best price point is the winner.

I find it strange they didn't list the speed. You'd think they would want nothing more than to talk about the best/fastest of their RAM offerings.

They may still be testing speed stability.
