00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:14,799
welcome to my unboxing of AMD memory but

2
00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:16,880
AMD doesn't make memory you might say to

3
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:20,119
which I would reply AMD also doesn't technically make CPUs now that they

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:27,240
don't have their own Fabs however that does not prevent AMD

5
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:31,240
from qualifying and validating and

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:33,200
marketing memory with the right partner

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,879
so in the case of their CPUs their partners are guys like Global foundaries

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:43,600
which is actually a spin-off of AMD's old old Fabs um in this case I am not

9
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:47,680
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

10
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:53,800
the video so I'm not going to take a look at the Oh shoot what are they

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:57,760
called right entertainment performance and radon grade memories separately this

12
00:00:56,199 --> 00:01:02,120
is going to be more of an overview of what is an what is an AMD memory um in

13
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:06,720
general rather than looking at every single grade but entertainment is the

14
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:12,560
lowest end performance is the mid-grade and then Radeon is the high-end so this

15
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,439
is performance this is cl8 1.5 volt 1333

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,680
MHz RAM it's a 2x4 gig kit you're not going to find any triple or quad Channel

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,960
kits because AMD CPUs are all using dual Channel controllers from the a6s and a8s

18
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:30,799
the apus of the world that is combination CPU gpus on one chip all the

19
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:32,240
way up to their black edition f X chips

20
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:35,960
so AMD per let's see what they have to say for themselves AMD performance

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,960
Edition DDR DDR3 memory kits are specifically designed for the latest

22
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,720
generation AMD processors they utilize low profile heat spreaders for enhanced

23
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:45,640
cooling performance built using high quality pre-screened ic's and vigorously

24
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,479
tested these AMD performance Edition modules are 100% hand tested for quality

25
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,399
assurance backed by lifetime warranty and Industry leading customer support so

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,840
here's something interesting for you guys I actually do know for a fact that

27
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:03,880
they do use prescreened ic's and they actually lock it down to a particular

28
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:06,280
particular build that is to say a bomb a

29
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:14,280
a build of materials so what that means is that every AMD performance 1333 cl8

30
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:19,519
kit is using pretty much the same components as every other one now okay

31
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:23,640
isn't it always like that you might ask to which I would reply absolutely not um

32
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,160
you know look at a performance memory brand such as Corsair on the side of

33
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:34,400
their memory you'll often see revision 1.1 1.2 2 .1 2.2 2.3 all the way up to

34
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:39,120
I've seen revision numbers as high as double digits on Corsair memory so they

35
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,400
are often changing the components which isn't to say that's a bad thing because

36
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,800
particularly for highgrade memory chips especially back in the ddr2 days it was

37
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,519
often necessary to change the components in order to get the yields they needed

38
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,800
to hit those high speeds what does that mean if for the end user it means that

39
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:59,000
if you're upgrading your exactly the same part number might not necessarily

40
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,800
even work in dual Channel with your other exactly the same part number but

41
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,640
different revision RAM it also means if you're building 10 systems at a time and

42
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:09,599
you have five that are one revision and five that are another revision you right

43
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:14,440
might run into issues where one doesn't work with another which brings us to the

44
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:18,840
point of all of this AMD released memory so that they would be sure that any AMD

45
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,280
memory would work in any AMD motherboard without any

46
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,760
fuss hold on a second okay and maximum performance

47
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:33,159
latest generation okay okay okay build and supported by Patriot memory LLC so

48
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,799
there go so yes it is a very very

49
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:41,799
well-known lifetime warranty actually still builds modules in North America

50
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:46,280
brand that is building and supporting these for AMD they have black pcbs which

51
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:50,280
I think is a must on anything that you're going to call Performance Edition

52
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,120
which is on the other side and then you got your sort of standard part number

53
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,319
built by Patriots see it's not really a secret really uh warranty void if

54
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,519
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

55
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:07,439
thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at AMD

56
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:07,439
