I really don't understand: <...pregnant pause...>

1. Where does this notion of DRDRAM being able to compete in the com/graphics market come from?

Carl has shown that DDR at 133MHz is already the flavor of choice for graphics cards. DDR chips already have a sustained bandwidth of at least the 2.1Gb/s that this 1066MHz DRDRAM chip will have and at much less power to boot.

2. DDR at 266Mhz will be faster still and 200MHz DDR2 will give a minimum bandwidth of 3.2Gb/s.

3. Since DRDRAM will never get the sweet meats in the PC sector, the economies of scale in this commodity business will always require it to be priced at a relative premium. How long can INTC and RMBS continue to carry this cost?

I just don't get it. Where's the cost benefit analysis that suggests this design will win any market segment?
