AMD Announces Gaming-Series Radeon DDR3 Memory
AMD has announced the upcoming arrival of its Radeon Gamer-Series memory.
Among most folks AMD is solely known as a manufacturer of CPU's, APU's, GPU's, and some chipsets, but the truth is AMD has been also expanding to a number of other product lines. For example, AMD has already been producing memory for a while now. Of course, AMD will likely not be manufacturing the memory itself though, but rather rebrand some trusted and verified DIMMs.
The existing lineups include AMD Radeon Value Series memory, Radeon Entertaiment Series memory, and Radeon Performance Series memory, which run at speeds of 1333 MHz, 1600 MHz, and 1866 MHz, respectively. Now though, AMD is introducing the Radeon Gaming Series memory, which runs at 2133 MHz.
According to AMD, this memory can boost frame rates in games up to 22 percent compared to its Entertainment series memory, although this was tested on an APU system, so the advantage would likely be less on systems with discrete graphics cards. Using AMD's RamDISK software, AMD also claims that the system can enjoy up to a 65 percent performance improvement in read and write speeds.
AMD's Radeon RG2133 Gamer Series memory kit will come with four DIMMs of 4 GB each, and run on timings of 10-11-11-30 at 1.65 volts. The kit should hit the market this month with an MSRP of $155.

"Still ram is limited by the CPU. What is the point of 2133mhz if the processor limits its speed to 1600mhz without doing a bios tweak?"
"S_K lets be fair the stuff is likely rated at 1600Mhz and the pour on the voltage."
The RAM looks cool, but I know my "gaming" motherboard won't push that voltage/speed without taking a dump. I have a feeling a lot of people will have problems getting this RAM up to the stated timings, voltage, and speed.
Some people just bitch because they can....
In my eye's AMD has been going down hill since it took the risk of buying out ATI. I agree ATI has made them some profit and they have done a great job with it. The problem is the last great processor to come from AMD was the 939's.
The problem is that Intel has vastly more money to spend on chip dev, and their fabs are a whole generation ahead of everyone else. The combination makes them unstoppable. The only solution is anti-trust legislation that forces them to spin off their fabs, or at least provide fair access & pricing to fab chips for competitors.
Likely with a highly overclocked apu graphics performance or when used as a ram disk, I read the page but it wasn't very specific.
