OCZ to Stop Making Some DRAM [WSJ]

[Tony]

LOL let me explain:

to begin with we made nothing but enthusiast parts, 8:1 in favour of high end.

Over the yrs that moved to around 50/50 split value and enthusiast.

The market has become over saturated with low end parts, no money in it any more...so we are going back to our roots...back to the enthusiast.

SSD is the big push as commented here, the gains you see on your system are far higher with the addition of an SSD than the addition of a 2100MHZ ddr3 kit, that said some just have to have the best of everything and we are actively going back after those people.

Just the really low end parts are getting culled though to start.

Not according to OCZ’s recent quarterly report:

Today, as part of a diversification strategy which began in fiscal year 2009, our product mix is significantly more weighted toward the sale of SSDs and the SSD product line has become central to our business. As a result, our target customers are increasingly enterprises and original equipment manufacturers (or “ OEMs ”).

Well, both could be true:
Typically OEM sales and Retail sales are separate departments in a company;
The Retail sales side could be refocusing purely on enthusiast parts,
While at the same time the OEM side is growing proportion-wise to be the majority in the company.

I wish all companies did this.

Go big or go home. Too much mediocrity in the world.

I hope this means you guys will makes DDR3 for i7 (1366) in 3 stick 24GB form running greater and or equal to 2000 speed. That would be catering to the high end market and not making the same thing as everyone else. I like the idea of low binning parts being turned into value ram. I must be dreaming again....
