with the right partner so in the case of their CPUs their partners are guys like Global foundaries which is actually a spin-off of AMD's old old Fabs um 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 going to take a look at the Oh shoot what are they called right entertainment performance and radon grade memories separately this is going to be more of an overview of what is an what is an AMD memory um in general rather than looking at every single grade but entertainment is the lowest end performance is the mid-grade and then Radeon is the high-end so this is performance this is cl8 1.5 volt 1333 MHz RAM it's a 2x4 gig kit you're not going to find any triple or quad Channel kits because AMD CPUs are all using dual Channel controllers from the a6s and a8s the apus of the world that is combination CPU gpus on one chip all the way up to their black edition f X chips so AMD per let's see what they have to say for themselves AMD performance Edition DDR DDR3 memory kits are specifically designed for the latest generation AMD processors they utilize low profile heat spreaders for enhanced cooling performance built using high quality pre-screened ic's and vigorously tested these AMD performance Edition modules are 100% hand tested for quality assurance backed by lifetime warranty and Industry leading customer support so here's something interesting for you guys I actually do know for a fact that they do use prescreened ic's and they actually lock it down to a particular particular build that is to say a bomb a a build of materials so what that means is that every AMD performance 1333 cl8 kit is using pretty much the same components as every other one now okay isn't it always like that you might ask to which I would reply absolutely not um you know look at a performance memory brand such as Corsair on the side of their memory you'll often see revision

particularly for highgrade 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 your exactly the same part number might not necessarily even work in 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 might 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 and maximum performance latest generation okay okay okay build and supported by Patriot memory LLC so there 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 going to call Performance Edition which is on the other side and then you got your sort of standard part number built by Patriots see it's not really a secret really uh warranty void if removed you don't want to take this off there's a low profile heat sink and I think that pretty much wraps it up so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at AMD memory"}
