Fin,

As a general rule, I don't see CPU applications as being DRAM bandwidth limited. Good CPU's are more like a sports car than a train. They need to be agile, and switch directions quickly.

Tasks which require lots of DRAM bandwidth are better run in special purpose processors, like graphics processors or network processors.
