Being not a specialist could a specialist (may be Tenchusatsu) reassure me, telling me that these 7.2 Gbit/s are not comparable to the 1.6 Gbits/sec of the 800 MHz RDRAM...thanks in advance.

Just an excerpt :
Cypress emphasize bandwidth in specialty memory shift

"Cypress recently launched its first "Internet" memories ? a family of dual-port SRAMs, featuring two 36-bit-wide ports operating at 100 MHz. The FLEx36 series offers bandwidth up to 7.2 gigabits of data per second, which Cypress said is equivalent to a half million typed pages of information per second.
In the near future, Cypress said it will use a range of methods to offer new FIFOs and dual-port SRAM architectures for optimized bandwidths. Cypress is setting its targets on breaking 10 Gbit/s in the first half of 2000 and 25 Gbits/s by the end of next year."
