Basically, when it comes to Rambus, workstations can really benefit from the low pin count. This helps to reduce the cost of the memory controller, the chipset, the motherboard, etc. But when it comes to servers, especially those that have several gigabytes of DRAM, the memory becomes a huge part of the cost. The low pin count of RDRAM doesn't help in servers, and DDR will have a lower price per megabyte.

So to generalize the way Intel sees it, DDR is great for systems with ultra-high capacities of memory, while RDRAM is great for smaller-scale desktop systems and workstations.
