The company AMD certainly needs no introduction, they are one of the most important companies for enthusiasts and gamers, supplying the toys they love. With their 30 year anniversary happening this week, AMD has had a strong footprint in the CPU and graphics market, not long ago they introduced AMD branded DDR3 memory modules and now they are entering the SSD market, on a road which seems to lead to an all-AMD PC.
Since AMD has no SSD design knowledge on their own and they don't build any SSD controllers or flash chips at Globalfoundries, AMD decided to team up with OCZ, which has recently been acquired by Toshiba. OCZ has their own controller designs (Indilinx) and Toshiba supplies their own flash chips, seems like a fruitful cooperation.
