It's my experience that in volume computer manufacturers, marketing decides on product strategy not engineering.

If marketing decides Rambus will sell machines, the engineers will design Rambus machines, to the lowest cost they can with the feature set marketing dictates.

The "an engineer wouldn't choose it" argument is completely spurious. Companies which make decisions based on engineering not marketing don't make much profit, and remain marginal players. Perhaps that's why AMD is still a chimp not a gorilla?
