Scumbria,

re: "It is pretty clear that Willy and DRDRAM deliver very high memory bandwidth. It is also clear that most benchmarks do not benefit from high memory bandwidth."

Which applications would benefit from very high memory bandwidth?

John

Scumbria, Re: It is also clear that most benchmarks do not benefit from high memory bandwidth.

What about Quake 3? The given benchmarks are extremely high. Do you think 3D OpenGL applications (read: games) profit that much from the higher memory bandwidth? Or could that be due to the ISSE optimization?
