AMD filed a patent for a program that automatically accelerate memory in order to simplify the life of enthusiasts. The application can automatically test the accelerated memory modules for stability and locally maintain memory acceleration profiles that are unique to a particular system.

Acceleration of RAM (DRAM) has existed for several decades. At first, companies such as Corsair chose memory microcircuits that could safely work at high frequencies and/or with low delays. Then modules were created that were guaranteed to work at certain frequencies, timings and stresses, but demanded that these settings be introduced manually into BIOS. To simplify the situation, in 2007, Intel introduced its profiles in memory of Extreme (XMP) - the settings stored in the detection of the sequential presence (SPD) of the module and can be activated on supporting platforms, and almost the entire memory of the level of enthusiasts is currently supplied with XMP profiles .

But the guaranteed/recommended XMP profile settings, as a rule, are relatively conservative to ensure maximum compatibility with a wide range of systems. At the same time, each PC is unique, therefore, stubborn enthusiasts, as a rule, themselves determine the maximum speed of data transmission and minimum delays that their machines are capable of. However, this takes a lot of time and requires knowledge, experience and skills.

The AMD memory acceleration technology is trying to give enthusiasts with average performance the opportunity to configure their memory modules and processors for maximum performance, as a professional, but without careful manual testing. In addition, automatic acceleration of AMD memory should also allow the owners of inexpensive memory modules with standard Jedec settings to SPD to disperse them to the limit. Enthusiasts focused on performance that tend to use the best RAM modules with XMP 3.0 profiles will also be able to maximize their productivity to the levels with which their assembly can cope without performing a large amount of handmade work.

The technology of automatic acceleration of AMD memory entails a definition of the frequency settings of overcameled memory, passing the test stability test, determining the most aggressive time settings to pass the specified test and creating a profile that includes settings of the frequency of dispersed memory and delay. The resulting profile will ultimately be loaded with the program. It is interesting that the patent does not affect memory voltages, which means that the modules should maintain SPD voltages (i.e., voltages from SPD profiles) or voltage should be set manually in UEFI BIOS or using a third -party application.

The patent was published on May 19, 2022, so we can only guess when the AMD program is implemented. Nevertheless, we can confidently assume that AMD will make it available after the release of the Ryzen 7000th generation of the Ryzen processors.
