Dataram
Corporation
announced a formal agreement with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
to develop an AMD-branded version of Dataram’s RAMDisk
software.
Dataram will market the product
under the name Radeon RAMDisk and will target gaming enthusiasts
seeking improvements in game load times, leading to an enhanced
gaming experience. AMD intends to offer special Radeon RAMDisk
incentives for those purchasing AMD Value, Entertainment, Performance
and Radeon Edition memory products.
Over four million
RAMDisk were downloaded since its launch in 2000. In addition
to being used by gaming enthusiasts, the software is also used for
accelerating database access, speeding up internet browsing, reducing
video rendering times, reducing wear on SSDs and reducing software
development cycles.
It has stirred interest and
expanded into corporate environments for accelerating specific
applications, and is being integrated into other products for which
performance is critical.
"Dataram
RAMDisk is one of the top RAMDisk software products in the Windows
market. With the increase in memory capacity and reduced cost per
gigabyte, now is the best time ever to utilize DRAM to create a
lightning fast disk drive. Like all Dataram products, we have not
only focused on speed and value, we have applied years of experience
with data protection and reliability,"
said Jason Caulkins, Dataram chief technologist.
Various benchmarks have shown that
using RAMDisk results in up to 525% faster game load times, improving
the gaming experience. Used with AMD memory products, gaming
enthusiasts can gain advantages when competing against their fellow
gamers.
Commenting on the launch of the AMD Radeon RAMDisk product in
early fourth quarter, Roman Kyrychynskyi, product director at AMD,
said: "With
the importance that memory plays in the overall PC experience,
eliminating bottlenecks is crucial for avid PC gamers. Our
collaboration with Dataram looks to provide the answer with an
enhanced storage solution that reduces possible performance plateaus
and provide a superior PC gaming experience."
As
RAMDisk continues to gain consumer and commercial recognition, focus
will be applied to rolling out the product roadmap for RAMDisk.
Particular focus will be directed towards expanding those markets
that have already adopted and recognized the value of using Dataram’s
RAMDisk.
