John,

Which applications would benefit from very high memory bandwidth?

Soft DVD is the most common example. Applications which require a lot of processing on a large amount of sequential data, will do well on Willy's bus and SSE execution unit.

Some graphics applications will also require high memory bandwidth to the CPU.

My guess is that most of these types of problems will ultimately be solved with special purpose hardware, rather than in an expensive general purpose CPU.
