Qwave, your arguments are nothing but a straw-man.

<CDMA is not a commodity. DRAM, whether it is DDR or RDRAM, is a commodity.>

And your point is ... ?

<Talk about embedded RDRAM is crap.>

And your point is ... ?

<Voice recognition as a driver for RDRAM. Crap again.>

No one said that voice recognition is the make-or-break of RDRAM's success. It's just one example of many future technologies that could use extra memory bandwidth. Although it's hard to predict the future, I think it's a pretty good assumption that whatever the future will bring, it will require more memory bandwidth. Do you agree?

<You don't need hundreds of MHz to sample speech at 64kbps or less.>

I don't think you really know how modern-day voice recognition works. Sure, the actual sampling of the voice requires a very small fraction of memory bandwidth, but the actual recognition algorithms require a lot of memory capacity to store the voice patterns. Why do you think performance of voice recognition software improves when better memory technologies are used? This has been demonstrated repeatedly by 3rd party web sites like Tom's Hardware Guide and Anandtech.

<I have been reading the RMBS board for a number of months and the only people I find reasonable are Dan3, Bilow, and Don.>

Uh huh. And I guess the rest of us are just blowing hot air, right?
