<I believe someone here posted that the Alpha 21364 will have that kind of controller also>

It's true. Compaq/Digital will integrate four DRDRAM controllers into one 21364 processor die, for a total memory bandwidth of 6.4 GB/sec, almost two-and-a-half times more than that of the 21264 (which is 2.66 GB/sec). Microprocessor Report has an excellent article on it, along with a theoretical 16-way Alpha system which has all the processors interconnected in a 4x4 square mesh pattern.

So for those who think DRDRAM is an Intel-only solution, better think again.
