I think its a good move by AMD to target as many aspects of the PC hardware as possible...
It's quite obvious that they're having a hard time trying to topple Intel's current dominance in the processor market (i.e. thanks to Intel's C2D microarchitecture).
So, AMD is now thinking of other ways to gain revenue and challenge Intel's chipset-making capabilities as well...and hopefully gain some market-share that'll help keep AMD afloat...especially during hard times like what they're currently experiencing.
If making these chipsets will keep revenues coming in...no matter how small...at the start...it's better than having no revenues at all.
Whether we like it or not...competition is good for everyone...whether your an Intel fan or an AMD fan...because without the other company...processor prices would be steep/higher since it would be dictated by only one company...and then suddenly...we won't have cheap quad-cores in the market anymore.
