[ionicle]

It seems AMD, like every other company at the moment, want to Diversify into a new market...

Isn't this old news?

It is an old news. Unless it is to refresh our memory.

They are probably going to speed up getting into this market though after their drama with Bulldozer, this was announced maybe a year or so ago though?

Old news, it's just a rebrand from what I heard.

 

[marsey99]

it was "released" a while ago but it is now available so it is news again

 

[ionicle]

i didnt know tbh, tom just inboxed me and said 'get it posted'

ive never heard about it before...sounds good though, nowt like some diversification even if it is just an agreement and some stickers

I'm definitely stupid. But can anyone explain me the point of AMD memory? Isn't it complete waste of money of an already drowning company? There are tons of good brands for reasonable price. And I doubt that a single chip has been made but other vendors, and not AMD itself.

 

[Lollipop]

Cheaper prices hopefully...

RAM doesn't cost anything anyways.

Just another way for them to make money, i'm sure plenty of fanboys will buy it. AMD are far from drowning though, even though BD was fail it's actually selling pretty well.

Yep, it is, im running it

They need to focus more on the components that they currently market, rather than branch out.

 

[marsey99]

guys amd isnt making this ram, patriot are and then putting amd stickers on them to show they are compatible with amd set ups.

I can confirm what Hooah said, I have just finished watching a unboxing video from Linus.

 

[ruthless_villain]

Well the point is there are people out there not as well researched as ourselves who go all AMD and Radeon branding. This memory will really appeal to them. Memory rebranding isn't all that uncommon.

AMD isn't a drowning company, they're doing very well outside the enthusiast market. They're APU's are doing especially well, the 7000 series looks like it should be a success too.

Why do you keep saying what I'm saying before I say it?

Are you a future me? o_o

 

[Aurus_OC]

I honestly don't know if its the right way to go for AMD. they need to show off some results after the recent sales drops.

Concerning the memory, they are just rebranded Patriot kits.

Nah, i'm just awesome.

basically its re branded patriot memory the selling point of it is the quality control measures and making it have the same components time after time. Like current Corsair offerings have multiple revisions along the same part number. this AMD branded ram is not going to have that. So if you buy one kit today and another in 6 months it'll be the exact same suff as you bought 6 months earlier.
