Saturn V, <Merced with its extensive prefetch capability will also benefit significantly from the high bandwidth of RAMBUS. The Six instruction per clock execution engine, which chew up a lot of memory bandwidth!>

460GX, Intel's 4-way Merced chipset, uses SDRAM, not RDRAM. The SDRAM in 460GX is heavily interleaved for high bandwidth, high bus utilization, and high capacities. Of course, the heavy interleaving is more expensive, but that's fine for servers.

Interleaving RDRAM in this way would have been overkill in bandwidth and even more expensive than interleaving SDRAM.
