The one critical message out of today's session is that the Intel/Rambus partnership is alive and well. Intel clearly intends to make Rambus look as good as it can in every comparison. If this involves "stacking the deck", so be it. Intel is naming the game and playing with its cards and Rambus is one of the major cards in that deck. (Maybe the "Ace".) At least as far as chipsets go, it is Intel's game, really still the only game in town, God willing. (sorry VIA).

Look for more excellent comparisons tomorrow. Expect Rambus to become a given in any evaluation done by Intel for any other aspect of microprocessor/chipset functions. It will be harder and harder to find comparisons of new apps using SDRAM. In a couple of months Intel will have many believing that the apps cannot, will not, work without Rambus.
