Ten,

No doubt there are issues with RDRAM power management. There's no question that power juggling hurts RDRAM performance more than necessary. Perhaps Intel and Rambus are actively working on this problem?

They are fixing the problem, by making a 4-bank DRDRAM which will have exactly the same page hit rate as SDRAM.

This will not stop the Rambus FUD however, as Mr. Naono has already demonstrated. Remember that he claimed that a 4-bank DRDRAM chip would have a higher page hit rate than a 4-bank SDRAM chip?
