this sounds confusing to me... everybody constantly drops low margin products, thats called phasing out and nothing special... so why did they announce this?
and low margins for mainstream memory... well DUH, what do you expect thats nothing new... and ocz has been very aggressive in pushing down prices with their mainstream memory... it seems really odd now to that they managed to capture a large market share by fighting for it agressively, to give it up again... and why would you publicly announce it?

sounds to me like this is meant to make stock holders think they will focus on higher margin products, which means they will have higher profits in the future...

but while 3% sucks, hey if you sell millions of dollars worth of memory each week, those 3% are nice to have and giving them up cause its ONLY 3% doesnt really make sense... its not like there is more money in highend memory... higher margins yes, but with the much lower volume it ends up being a lot less money... and when you want to sell highend memory you need to bin and get rid of the not that great parts, thats why you NEED a mainstream leg to stand on if you seriously want to compete in the highend segment when it comes to binning hardware... weird announcement...
