They argue that latency is improved with Rambus in a system with some real memory traffic.

Is it, though?

I really wonder if Intel did full system-level performance simulations. Heck, they had to. I mean, you don't make a multi-billion$ decision based on some foils, right? Maybe they ran the sims, the results were ho-hum, but they convinced themselves that future code, maybe using the MMX2 prefetch instructions, would benefit somehow.
