KZ,

<Try this on as an explanation for the Dell Bell benchmarks:
drdrams enter power down mode when they are not used frequently. Bell's benchmarks seemed like all business type sw that would access memory pretty randomly. So imagine that various drdrams go into power down mode but then have a much increased latency when finally accessed.

Any thoughts.>

Interesting theory! Hard to believe it would degrade the performance so much though!

This whole affair stinks to high heaven. The comparisons are nutty if you consider that CuMine-256 (not the CuMine-128) is expected to debut at 133MHz FSB. Why Intel/Dell presented that data (assuming they did) is beyond me.

Hopefully, we will find some more useful answers by October.

P.S.: I didn't realize there was another thread up and running full steam. I had the other one bookmarked and wondering why people who wanted a new thread are not showing up. Oh, well!

P.P.S.: I am glad we have a more useful RMBS forum. Thanks to Kash for getting this going.
