"I think what you would need to to show off the performance of Rambus is be an on-chip (on-CPU) Northbridge that would communicate directly with Rambus memory. As far as I know Timna was the only processor to use this arrangement, and even if it sees the light of day, unfortunately it will be relegated to the low end market, and nobody will seriously consider possible performance advantage of Rambus in that segment" Joe, take another look at this link to what is going to be featured at the IDF: intel.com "System design experts will take an inside look at how to extend or enable new capabilities in system design using integrated chipsets and CPUs with Timna..." My money says Timna will see the light of day. Willamette with Rambus will take the high end. Timna with Rambus will compete with Athlon in the low end.
