2cpu.com We all nearly fell out of our collective chairs when we saw the picture showing the VAST memory bandwidth that the Pentium 4 + Rambus solution provides. This is truly a remarkable number. There has been a lot of talk lately about Memory bandwidth. It's common knowledge that SDRAM just isn't going to be able to keep up with the ever-escalating clock speeds and system bus speeds that have been coming out of both the Intel and AMD camps. Rambus has really been in question over the last several months. Its high cost and questionable performance have really prevented it from being considered a viable option for the average user. I think this benchmark shows that in accordance with the 400 MHz system bus that Willy provides, Rambus is capable of pushing some incredible numbers. We can only hypothesize at this point on how DDR-RAM will perform alongside a Pentium 4 processor. I look forward to some comparative numbers when a DDR+Pentium 4 solution becomes available. </I.

Hi all; RedHerring.com says now is "good time for profit taking" on RMBS: redherring.com Litigation headaches send Rambus stock skidding ... If not settled out of court, the suits could take years to decide, and it doesn't look like Micron or Hyundai are interested in giving in any time soon. Investors will also want to keep Intel's noncommittal views about the rest of Rambus's business in mind, as well. Since the stock is already up more than 350 percent this year, it looks like now might be a good time for profit taking. We wouldn't want to be riding on this "Bus" right now. -- Carl
