RE: <KZ, I think you're misunderstanding me. I never said anything about core latency.>

Well, you said to Dan3: <You talk about the "superiority" of "Random Accesses" over "streaming accesses" without knowing what the hell you are talking about. (Rambus is better in both than anything, except perhaps VC.)> So are you drawing some distinction between latency and "Random Accesses"?

RE: <You sure the same techniques can't be used to improve upon RDRAM's core latency? After all, when you peel all the layers of the onion away, it's still just a transistor and a capacitor at the core.>

Sure, but Rambus has the parallel to serial and serial back to parallel delay which gets added on to the core read time. How will it ever compete on latency? Then there is the NAP mode problem which adds more delay. Doesn't sound good!
