Carl,

not that anyone here really cares, but the link you posted has a hidden study on optimal burst line sizes for servers, and it is one of the weak areas of granularity loss from having 'packet' sizes that are too big. They behave badly for many of today's real world apps. (Until the PII MHz started to go way up, similarly clocked P6 was underperforming the P55C very badly, due to its longer path to memory and IO in general, part of which was solved when the speculative write combining idea was invented).

But noone here really cares about all that junk. I would look at a nice entry here, it has too dropped quickly too far, there should be a bounce in here at some point.

Hi all; Re DDR and spot pricing...

Just one year ago, I posted a link to a note from last year's Platform Conference to the effect that TeamDDR would consider DDR victorious when it's prices were quoted daily in Taiwan:

Commodity Computing: It's the Price Stupid!
Desi Rhoden, Advanced Memory International, Inc. July 2000
...
Commodity DRAM
* The Asian WSJ charts DRAM prices daily
* ICIS-LOR - New DRAM prices 3 times/day
* Only PC100 & PC133 SDRAM are listed
* DDR is a success when it is prices daily (page 5)

#reply-14118350 [Original link is out of date.]

Sure enough, DDR SDRAM chip prices are now quoted daily, but still no RDRAM chip pricing:

This further explains why it is that AMI2 (TeamDDR) declared victory back on June 4:
