Does seem a bit strange IMO. Could you ever imagine Intel branded RAM?
Sure! Why not they are already the leading manufacturer of NAND flash ram

Nope.I fear they may be pushing it too far with this move. Wouldn't that put them close to having a monopoly with having CPU's, GPU's (and their multi-card technology), and now Memory?
Bit of an unexpected move though, at least in my opinion.
Pretty old news to be honest

Was posted in August. Pretty horrible timings for 1600 RAM.
And the difference? Intel makes their own NAND chips in their own Fabs - and the quality shows IMO
Among all the deniers, haters and fanboy attitudes, have any of you looked at the business economics side of this. First OCZ, Patriot etc build ram modules, Hynix et-al make chips, Crucial and a few others do both. If this happened a few years back it these would be ATI branded dimms. Now you have GF with the facilities to make the stuff and AMDs better practice of making great video cards and yes, good CPUs. (Don't forget these less than steller Bulldozers hit some gnarly speeds under LN2. If you ask me, intels business model sucks and I don't buy their stuff, why should you. That to is economics 101. Motorola had a much better architecture than intel but in the end it went with economics. That said, AMD products are a much better bang for the bucks you spend on them. I said my piece, now let them fly.
