dmf, >"In the quest for even more speed, sources say AMD is also looking into using RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) in future Athlon processors. While a more expensive memory solution that requires the user to pay licensing fees, RDRAM outpaces DDR SDRAM by a considerable margin.

That's a croc. The Intel webpage Paul cited shows Rambus to be slower than SDRAM with 133 MHz bus. Of curse, it depends on what you're running. There are a lot of bad reporters in technology that don't know what they're talking about, just trying to sell copy. If you know whom to trust, SI is actually as good as it gets.

If Intel bet their future on the D team, that doesn't say much about management's judgment

Intel always has a lot of irons in the fire. We've had some good products come out from the efforts of the A, B and C teams since the Rambus mess. Wouldn't be seeing 2 billion in profits per quarter otherwise.

Yes, that Intel would continue to rely upon Rambus is AMD's favorite fantasy.

Probably won't happen, but they can always hope!
