Tench, re: Benchmarks.
This whole issue is murky and highly politicized. It appears the makers can develop benchmarks that highly favor their own designs and disparage the competition. There are many examples of this throughout the years.
I suspect that a DDR company could write a maximum sustainable bandwidth BM that invokes the temperature sensor and slows down the clock on RIMM's. But would this be representative of real world conditions? I doubt it.
I personally have little faith in maker derived BM's. (Mostly based on experience). I would like to see the industry and press agree on an industry standard set of BM's that de-politicizes the whole issue.
