RE: <I continue to expect that once Coppermine / Rambus PCs are actually out there to be tested on real world applications, rambus will be shown to be of little or no benefit, only additional cost.> Coppermine may look good or bad against Athlon but it is hard to draw a conclusion on Rambus on that. It is more likely that Rambus will be judged on how it does in Coppermine vs Coppermine with sdram. But the various chip sets may confuse that comparison also. If drdram delivery shortfalls occur it seems likely that EOMs will deliver Cumine+Camino+MTH+Sdram to avoid not shipping at all. So we will have otherwise identical boxes coming in two versions: drdram and MTH+Sdram and this is likely how the comparisons will get made. It will be totally bogus since the sdram systems are crippled by the MTH but the comparisons will be made. I expect that unclewest and others will bombard this thread with every benchmark as they get released one by one, all showing the Rambus system being faster. It will be impossible to read the fine print through all the smoke.
