Question regarding latency that was asked of Avo Kanadjian:

(QUESTION)
FiringSquad: Everyone says that RDRAM has latency issues.
How does RDRAM latency compare to SDRAM? Doesn't
RDRAM have a significant delay as it switches between
active and standby modes?

(ANSWER)
This is another misconception. You have to make a
distinction between component level and system level
measurements. In the worst case when the memory
system is underutilized, Rambus system latency is
comparable to that of an SDRAM system. When the
memory system is heavily utilized, Rambus' high
bandwidth architecture that efficiently supports concurrent
memory transactions results in far better latency than
SDRAMs.

RDRAMs supports 4 power modes that allow performance
and power consumption to be optimized. Between the two
highest performance modes called active and standby
there is no significant delay.
