RE: <RAMBUS DRAM PERFORMANCE: Lowest Latency with the Highest Bandwidth According to the technical experts at Samsung, Rambus "delivers the highest performance in both areas." This is straight from the Samsung White Paper: usa.samsungsemi.com Who of you out there is more knowledgeable than all of the electronic engineers at Samsung/Intel/Micron/Dell/Compaq etc.?> It doesn't take a real genius to recognize a bogus comparison. That white paper has been referred to a zillion times on this thread. Can't you figure out that it is comparing the fastest rdram to the slowest 133 MHz sdram? Do you understand the concept of CAS latency? Why is Samsung using CAS latency of 3 in their comparison instead of CAS latency of 2 which would give a totally different result? Answer: Because it's a bogus comparison. RE: <Intel could have chosen from any technology other than Rambus but they chose Rambus as the memory standard of the future. Imagine the brainpower in their company. Who of you would claim to know more than them?> Yes, they are smart. They are so smart that they know that the Samsung comparison is bogus. But do you think that they would tell you that? Do you think that they are looking out for you?
