  Probably just the same brand, honestly?

    The years; why is no one buying our crucial ram , hopefully

    Depends on how proud they are and if they’d want to retract their statements of going after AI instead of consumers or not.

      Well I don’t think there’s any pride in it, they are just going after what is the most profitable at any given time.

      That’s exactly why I suspect they will choose to resurrect the Crucial name later, because given a choice between launching a new name nobody knows, or a name people recognise (even if it’s been tarred a bit) then recognised will be the winning and more profitable option.

        China’s CXMT might go for it. Apparently they are rolling out DDR5 8000+ memory, two or three years from now. They can rebrand as Crucial for the western market, thus using familiarity to push their product.

        I can see both happening.
        I’d say: We will see (thumbsup)
