ECS First to Add AMD Memory Profile Support
Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) today announces that it is the first hardware manufacturer to support the latest AMD Memory Profile (AMP) on its innovative platform: A85F2-A Deluxe motherboard. It has been ready to take full advantage of the performance, high end gaming, multi-tasking and energy efficiency with the most anticipating technology "AMP", allowing users to fully satisfy their growing demand with its unique operating designed.
With striving on Research and Development and also closely cooperation with AMD, ECS is honored to become the first AMD Memory Profile (AMP) certified motherboard vendor in the world. The upcoming AMD Memory Profile (AMP) not only breaks through the traditional design, it also enables the performance tuning of DDR3 memory modules beyond standard JEDEC (Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council) specification.
AMP features a wide range of enhancements, reliability and perfectly performance, which are certified DDR3 Plug & Play memory modules. The latest AMD Memory Profile (AMP) provides a new experience to users in order to unleash the maximum memory performance.
A innovation leading company － ECS, is the first company announce to import AMD Memory Profile (AMP) into product. ECS not only provides integrated solution for supporting, but also considers customers' needs as the core consideration for the products design, and the customer-oriented design concept has been the power for its self-progression. Making a unique and glory prominent product is the only purpose for ECS.

Nice to see ECS being first for something too :toast:
Now they are going to call it AMP? It doesn't really matter what they call it if they can't get the RAM producers and more motherboard producers to actually support it.
Kind of sucks for novice users trying to find the right timings to make high speed RAM work on AMD right now. This AMP will help for sure, but they better not charge an arm and a leg for "AMD Certified RAM" like they did with the Flares.
Oh, they won't, because they forgot the exclamation mark :laugh::laugh:
I dislike XMP because memory vendors don't use it right, imho, I hate situations when you buy 1600 MHz memory and it has only 1333 jedec and 1600 xmp profiles spd. So use must manualy edit settings to get 1600 Mhz.
I think if memory has label 1600 it must work at this speed without any help.
Now, on AMD, you're left manually setting up ram, period, and since most ram sells with XMP-rated timings and speed, there's no guarantee memory will work above JEDEC settings on an AMD rig. At least AMD is taking steps to fix that problem. It's not like ECS came up with this..they are just first to support it.
LOL sorry...I couldn't resist
ASUS
GIGABYTE
MSI
These aren't really what you call top tier compared to the intel top tier but I think the intel top tier motherboards are something I have no need for anyhow.
3 years ago it was a different story.
They should really focus hard on the incoming DDR4 technology and come up with something really relevant and ground breaking for a change. If not, AMD will certainly continue to resume itself to the good old ATi inside the enthusiast market...
