Scumbria,

It is not clear to me that this sort of bandwidth is required until CPU's get well above 10GHz, which is probably more than 5 years away.

I agree, it's not required in the PC space for awhile. I would guess it would be useful in the communications space very soon, however (maybe not as memory chips but as in chip-to-chip communications). More importantly is the fact that Intel is moving towards a technology that can grow from the starting point, not die at the starting point.

p.s. by now you've probably read the Dataquest articles. Interestingly they actually think DDR will find a niche in the graphics card space, not RDRAM. Any thoughts?
