So far the only 5700s I've seen with Micron are the AIBs starting to come out, and specifically the Sapphire Pulse. I'm curious because the Micron memory is shown as having a lower high end clock than Samsung. I doubt it makes much real-world difference, though it could affect overclocking. Is this a case of Micron yet again being the undesirable manufacturer?

So has anyone who disassembled their reference 5700 found non-Samsung memory?

Maybe it's same as vega? Ref XT and non XT and AIB XT gets Sammy and non XT AIB gets micron.
 
memory modules aren't the limiting factor, it's the IMC on the die that's limiting memory clocks. so you'll mostly see memory overclock variances based on that vs the memory modules.
