So if you trace traffic from PCI to memory, you'll find data first moving over a 32-bit PCI bus, then squeezed into an 8-bit HubLink port, then expanded out to the 16-bit Rambus interface, and finally expanded to 16 bytes inside the RDRAM device. Sounds insane, doesn't it?

I wouldn't say insane, but...is there any end-user benefit provided by the new "hub" system? (aside from shaving a few pennies from the packaging cost)
