Re: Future, ...cpu's, will perform only marginally better than current cpu's without the bandwidth of Rambus...
Hi Mohamed,
DDR 266 has 30% greater bandwidth than the fastest rambus, and costs little more than PC100, and doesn't have the heat and density problems of rambus.

Boise, Idaho, November 9, 1999 - Micron Technology, Inc., today announced that its internally developed DDR demonstration platform has shown significant advantages in performance benchmark testing over other high-bandwidth solutions. These tests confirm that DDR SDRAM delivers the high-bandwidth, low-latency performance needed to keep pace with advanced microprocessors and graphics subsystems.
PC266 DDR SDRAMs function at data rates of 266Mbps and provide system-level bandwidth of 2.1GB per second (PC2100). Micron?s platform, using PC2100 DIMMs, achieved industry-leading scores in multiple benchmark tests. For example, the DDR SDRAM platform demonstrated strong performance results in two key industry tests, the StreamD benchmark and Intel?s Platform Bandwidth testing.
