RE: <That looks a very reasonable claim by Rambus on their website. After all, they are referring to system power consumption, not the maximum power consumption of individual chips.> No way, John. Rambus system power is much higher. They acknowledged ths to me several times. They make their claim by imagining some sdram system with enough extra chips operating in order to match their bandwidth and then counting the power of all the extra chips. Of course, no one would ever build such a system. Most of the laptop world will just use a straight forward PC100 or PC133 set of four x16 chips and forget about the extra bandwidth. (I think someone has announced a Rambus laptop but don't expect many.) Who needs the extra bandwidth for a laptop? (Oh, ya, backups!) But the Rambus claim of half the power is about as close to a baldfaced lie as you can get.
