sylvester80, Facts from Anand's benchmarks.
First let me restate for the thread I believe SDRAM will have =>80% share of the DRAM market in 2001, that P4 will ship <250Kunits in Q4'00, and P4 will ship <10 million units in 2001. All subjective, of course, but my predictions.
But since the subject of interest is DDR vs RDRAM, let's look at Anand's benchmark result's in that context. (Note that the test's were run with PC1600, not PC2100). 

Benchmark                     DDR 1600       PC800

Content creation               36.2            27.3
Sysmark 2000                  195             179
Quake Arena                   122.1           114.4
Unreal tournament              79.5            71.6
Expendable                    107.9            93.7
Intel media encoder           129              73
Intel Naturally spkg          123             111
Intel Adobe prem               91              64
Intel Video studio             69             107
I-Stream (Memory B/W)         487             352
FPU stream (Mem B/W)          596             468

We should see PC2100 benchmarks on optimized platforms in the next few months. They will be even more interesting.
The fact that both PC133 and DDR1600 beat RDRAM on 1GHz platforms should be of concern. Clearly RDRAM did not scale with CPU speeds.
JMHO's. (And since it will be some time before we know P4 penetration, I won't get in a p###ing contest on that issue).
