Tony, <[The Willamette bus is] not 400 MHz, but some fraction of that and then double or quad pumped. Anyway, I think it's an overhyped parameter compared with CPU and cache architecture.>

The Willamette bus is 100 MHz quad-pumped. Yes, the 400 MHz figure is a little overhyped, but then again, no one is complaining about AMD's hype over their 200 MHz Athlon interface (which is actually 100 MHz double-pumped).

<You'll notice that servers don't push any envelopes in a major way when it comes to memory architecture.>

That's because servers gain memory bandwidth the old-fashioned way: They brute-force it. So the bandwidth per memory channel doesn't have to be very much, since servers employ multiple memory channels anyway.
