Patriot Memory, a global pioneer in high-performance memory, NAND flash, storage and enthusiast computer products, today announces new G2 series, AMD Edition memory kits for the next-generation AMD 9-series platforms. The new Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition memory kits are the perfect match for enthusiasts seeking to extract every ounce of performance available from the AMD 9-series platform.

Available at speeds of 1333 MHz to 1600 MHz, the Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition let users pick the perfect speed for their applications. Low and enhanced latencies are available with the Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition for the perfect balance of ultra-fast system responsiveness and overclocking headroom to maximize overall system performance.



"AMD has done an outstanding job catering to the do-it-yourself crowd and the next-generation 9-series platform should be no different. Our Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition modules are the perfect fit for the adventurous overclocker and users seeking system performance," says Les Henry, Patriot Memory's Vice President of Engineering.

Low-profile heatsinks cool the Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition memory modules to provide greater heat dissipation capabilities. The low-profile heatsinks enable systems with the Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition to fit large CPU-coolers worry-free.

Expect the Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition memory kits to ship in June 2011 with capacities of 4GB (2x2GB) and 8GB (2x4GB) in 1333MHz and 1600MHz speeds.

General details
  • New Patriot Memory G2 series, AMD Edition memory kits
  • Designed for next-generation AMD 9-series
  • Speed: 1333-1600 MHz
  • CAS latency: Low and enhanced latencies available
  • Capacities: 4GB (2x2GB) & 8GB (2x4GB)
  • Available in June
  • Lifetime warranty

Do you need 1866MHz not really

I will everyone else. The native speed is 1866 Mhz, why would you specially design a series of RAM to not match its native speed. That is like releasing an entire line of 1080p monitors with a maximum resolution of 1050. It won't be that big of a different at most sizes, but its not 1080p either.

1333mhz, I don't get it. I am running more than that with ram from 2 years ago! What are they calling "low and enhanced latency"?

You know what, I take that back. Some, if not all, A series chips will have a native memory speed of 1600 Mhz for the A8 and A6. The A4 native memory clock will be 1333 Mhz.

Mobile Llano has DDR3-1600 support, but Desktop Llano has DDR3-1866 support. I don't really expect fast RAM to have a big impact on Zambezi performance, but I'd be interested to see a comparison between an A8 Llano at 1333 vs 1866, seeing as there is one IMC for both the 4 CPU cores, and the Fusion GPU.

Hmm. Is this an AMD edition because they've called it an AMD edition, or is there something I'm missing here? Initially I was a little pleased to read the news - I'll be looking for Bulldozer memory at some point and I'd like 16GB of 1866.

SPD settings for Intel and AMD platforms is quite different. Even between Intel platforms, SPDs can change.

That's true Cadaveca, but I really don't know enough to judge if these modules are designed for AMD or they're just cashing in (caching in if you like puns!). Given that they don't match the frequency Bulldozer is designed to run at I'm dubious if these really are designed for AMD, but as I said I don't really know so I have to defer to people who do.

It's more than possible that 1866 sticks are forth-coming, but OEMs don't want to give the wrong impression, as not every Phenom II CPU is capable of 1866 reliably.

Of course, I'm kinda filling in the blanks with my own thoughts here, but it does make sense.

Yep, it does, but it doesn't answer the question about these particular ones... am I right to be skeptical and think it's pure marketing, or are they really better for AMD than A. N. Other sticks at the same latency and speed...

Yes, there is something to it. Many sticks not certified for AMD will not run corrently when installed into AMD motherboards. When AM3 first launched, it was near imposible to find memory that worked, as none had been really certified for the platform. This also ensures things other than the primary 4 timings are looked after, too, which not all users are comfortable with changing. the AMD certification ensures that barring manufacturer defects, shipping damages, or user error, these sticks will work on the AMD platform, right out of the box, which you'll find to not be the case with many Intel-certified sticks.

too lazy since there is no sauce;)

Those are low timing sticks I assume, like CAS6 or so?

But was that down to the sticks, or down to the BIOS? From what I've seen, memory brands tend to work with motherboard manufacturers and over time BIOS releases increase compatibility with existing RAM that's out there.

I'm still dubious and skeptical... I have it in my head (and I don't know if it's true or not) that OCZ just branded the AMD and Intel low voltage DDR3 4GB kits that were around perhaps 12-18 months ago as Intel and AMD, and they were the same gear. What work that went on wasn't on tinkering the memory to work with the chipset, but the motherboard BIOS to work with the memory.

Designed for next-generation AMD 9-series.

I do not think CAS6 is likely. But...I do beleive this is mentioned specifically for a reason. ;)

Sticks that work on the AM3 platform don't work the same, if at all, in 1155. There are several critical timings that are very different now, and I can only assume that this difference may be much greater when the new AMD CPUs launch.

I have many sticks rated for SKT 1156 that do not work right on 1155, even, so platform certification does seem to be a much bigger thing than it was in the past.

That is some ugly looking memory but can't beat the standard heat spreaders.
It would have been nice if they were similar to the OCZ AMD Black edition RAM

Am I missing something ?
Why would I buy 1333 if I can get 2133 for the same price. Yeah CAS I know.

?? The 11 CAS may be high, but the actual latency is still less than 1600 @ 9 CAS. (9/1600 * 2000 = 11.25ns > 11/2133 * 2000 = 10.31ns). ??

?? True / false ??

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL

Mushkin Enhanced Redline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model

I can "retard" this ram above to work with the new AMD's at 1866 and get better CAS or overclock the cpu to get to 2133 of the ram ? :toast:

What I think you're missing according to what else has been said is AMD compatibility, the new chipset may have issues running ram made for Intel. I'm starting to be swung by what Cadaveca is saying but I'm at heart a skeptic.

It's done enough to make me cautious about buying memory for Bulldozer until I see some compatibility assurances.

The problem is the word is "may", and nobody knows for sure until the processors/boards are released. I think it is unlikely to be a good ram to chose from the speed we see available.

Yeah you are right I remember the x4 955/965 Joke and no mboards being compatible so had to RMA several times and ended up buying a old Intel Q9550 .
I have been spoiled with Intel, plug in anything and it just works.

Did not like the AMD x4 955/965 lab rat testing experience. Same reason why I am cautious about the BullDozers and being a Lab Rat again. :ohwell:

Damn AMD we want to support you, come on don't let us X4 955/965 lab rat down again.
