Re: "Does the Athlon advanced bus systems already beat rambus in bandwidth to such a degree that the Athlon has no need of rambus?"

You don't need RamBus to get the bandwidth. It's just that RamBus gives you bandwidth with very low pincount. High pincount devices can match the bandwidth of RamBus but they are more expensive and border on unmanufacturable.

Bill, <Does the Athlon advanced bus systems already beat rambus in bandwidth to such a degree that the Athlon has no need of rambus?>

Athlon could very well use Rambus, although AMD isn't very willing to admit it given the current situation. Right now, Athlon's "advanced bus" isn't being driven to its fullest potential thanks to the limits of PC100 SDRAM.
