Scumbria,

<They designed a great processor in Willamette, and then chose to cripple it with expensive, long latency memory.>

Would you put latency concerns ahead of cost concerns?

I have a problem quantifying the trade-offs between slightly worse latency and significantly improved bandwidth especially since the bandwidth needs of Wilamette's multithreading and the new impact of SSE-2 are still unknown.
