Long days gone since AMD was the game king with the Athlon FX Series but this was on the enthusiast segment, nowadays AMD is trying to hit the mainstream segment. AMD has established a new logo program called AMD GAME!. The idea behind AMD GAME! is to guarantee that anyone buying a PC with this logo will have a good overall gaming experience with it.

The standard AMD GAME! logo unfortunately has more lax requirements; all you need to get this logo is an cpu Athlon X2 5600+ and a graphic card Radeon HD 3650 as well as an motherboard AMD 770 or nForce 500 series chipset.
A PC bearing the regular GAME! logo is better than your run of the mill desktop with integrated graphics, but honestly I’d prefer for there only to be one logo and for it to carry as much weight as the GAME! Ultra specs.
This combination of data ensures that, for the most part, people who buy PCs with the GAME! Ultra logo will get a good gaming experience on current titles, at default settings, at 1600 x 1200. Those who buy PCs with the regular GAME! logo should also be guaranteed a good experience, albeit at 1280 x 1024 instead.

Ever since the introduction of Intel’s Centrino brand, manufacturers have attempted to duplicate its success by pushing the importance of a platform. Today AMD has come the closest I’ve seen since then by, at least with its AMD GAME Ultra specification, putting together a list of components that can actually guarantee a good experience.
