Nog een kleine opmerking: in het artikel wordt verteld dat er nog geen latencies bekend zijn, maar oa Anandtech heeft de Rammetjes op dezelfde dag in handen gehad en getest:
http://www.anandtech.com/...oducing-amds-memory-brand
De latencies:
Casual is CL9 @1333
Performance is CL8 @1600
Radeon is C9 @1866
Die laatste variant haalt waarschijnlijk 7 of 8 als deze lager geklokt is.
Verder staat in dat artikel waarom de geheugen reepjes opvallend (kunnen) zijn
The other item to discuss is what AMD offers that we may not already have. Here the distinction between AMD branded memory and other options isn’t quite so clear, but AMD will be doing testing and validation in their labs using AMD platforms. AMD also notes that they will not be using any ETT (Effectively TesTed) or gray market RAM. The latter is used as a term to collectively group hardware that may be less desirable; as an example, Intel unboxed CPUs are “gray market” because they are intended for OEM use but can still end up being sold at retail. Basically, gray market parts would cut out some of the supply channel (in the example just cited, gray box processors typically cut out AMD/Intel and only have a short warranty from the seller). ETT parts on the other hand are a way of cutting costs by skipping branding; the RAM is still tested and is supposed to be high quality, but without branding it’s one small way to reduce costs. Generally speaking, ETT memory is destined for value RAM modules, so basically AMD is saying is that their AMD RAM will start out a step above value RAM. AMD also states that they will take end-to-end ownership of the AMD Memory ecosystem, working with module manufacturers, memory partners, IC partners, distributors, and VARs (value added resellers).
Maar dat heeft mij nog niet overtuigd.
