AMD Branch out into Memory
It seems a recession brings all the companies out into the diversification market, AMD are just following suit in some very big footsteps, so, if you haven't gathered from the title, AMD is branching out into the memory market!
They have teamed up with Patriot to bring AMD Branded memory to the market, this is a very interesting move by AMD, as it has been done before by a company, i distinctly remember Nvidia branded memory, and ATi branded memory from years back, but AMD memory should be something different.
AMD have gone for a three tier product, where there is the entry level, the mid range, and the top spec, lets have a look what they've come up with shall we?

Why do you keep saying what I'm saying before I say it?
Are you a future me? o_o

Nah, i'm just awesome.
Well the point is there are people out there not as well researched as ourselves who go all AMD and Radeon branding. This memory will really appeal to them. Memory rebranding isn't all that uncommon.
AMD isn't a drowning company, they're doing very well outside the enthusiast market. They're APU's are doing especially well, the 7000 series looks like it should be a success too.
Well they actually being pulling a loss on the company which isnt good but not saying there going under

Yeah that's why they're taking a step back from us and cutting their losses. I wish they still had the R&D to compete with Intel.
The bigger a the battle between Giants the better the Ammo(hardwere).
