Pretty weird, AMD is selling Radeon branded DDR3 memory modules. Sadly no cool looking heatspreader (at least on the model shown) and the specs are a bit low end too.

Weird, they cannot be making them. Wonder who actually made the chips?

Good question

Besides the anonymous memory manufacturer who builds and sells these DIMM modules to AMD

Perhaps AMD had a surplus of memory chips?

Memory performance (except GPU memory of course) is overrated anyway. The gain between DDR2 and DDR3 in overall system performance is marginal, if there's one.
For a graphic card, memory performance will give huge overall performance increases, but not for computer RAM. Not anymore. Not past DDR2.
