Re: longer term is not rambus a positive for intel?

I don't think so, but there are plenty who disagree with me.

Rambus has no performance advantages for a PC, adds cost, reduces total memory for a given number of DIMMS (which is why it's totally shut out of the server market).

But it looked very good 2 years ago, and now Intel has to go to the trouble of extracting itself from its current roadmap without incurring too large a time and financial penalty.
