Re: "Do you really believe that the RAMBUSt problems are

down with volume, so this is just lame excuse.
Don't you see that Intel is pedaling back on
Rambus frequency - down to 600, to 400MHz?

All this usually happen when you violate
scientific/engineering rules. It is not
going to work. "

I wouldn't be surprised if we see an introduction soon. Camino with fullspeed RamBus (800MHz). Just my guess of course <g>

There's a lot of confusion over the speed of DRDRAM because of the double-pumped packets.

DRDRAM clock will be 300 to 400 MHz, depending on the speed grade of the memory. The actual speed of request and data transfers will be 600 to 800 MHz. There is no 200/400 MHz speed grade planned, since that would definitely have no performance advantage over PC100 SDRAM.
