AMD: Will Not Sell Memory Directly

A few days ago, a few memory chips with the "AMD Radeon" logo appeared on the market. People could not help but think: Is AMD going into the memory market? Today, AMD officials responded to this claim, claiming that they are only evaluating the possibility and will not directly manufacture or sell the memory.

AMD spokesperson Dave Erskine said: "AMD does not manufacture memory and will not directly sell memory to customers. AMD is currently evaluating whether selling AMD Radeon brand memory through channel partners is a viable opportunity and therefore seems to be available in some regions. Buy through retail channels."

Interestingly, the link to Radeon memory on AMD's official website is still there, but the page is no longer open.

Diversification is the rational development path for large enterprises. AMD (and previous ATI) has also been working with memory vendors to ensure the supply of compatible memory chips for their graphics cards. However, entering the memory market is not very important for AMD. Reasonable measures, after all, memory products have been very rich, the most critical is the frequent price changes, profit margins are not large, AMD is difficult to have the opportunity to make much money.

According to the plan, AMD plans to offer three Radeon brand memory sticks: 1333MHz frequency, 9-9-9 timing Entertainment entertainment series, 1600MHz frequency, 11-11-11 timing UltraPro Gaming professional player series, and the unknown size of the Enterprise series . The initial capacity is a single 2GB, but it is unclear who will do it.
