Scumbria: At some point (maybe 5 years down the road), significant performance gains will be made through speculative preloading across a high bandwidth bus, into a large cache.

Right now, they seem to gain quite significantly from their hardware prefetching. Wouldn't a larger cache help the prefetching (today)? Or is it latency / bandwidth limited?

Thanks again... ;)
