P4 has some builtin DFT logic that doesn't have to be there. Removal would add a significant boost to frequency and shrink the die. I expect to see this in the future. EP

John, I'm wondering if I should sell my AMD stock I just looked and 1 share AMD = 1.727 share RMBS. ;) Barry

John, I'm starting to think that Rambus has the lead in volume manufacturing, and that may lead to an on-going price advantage over DDR. You must have misunderstood the numbers Barry posted. These numbers were $/MB (not MB/$), which means the higher the number, the more expensive the part is. A megabyte of Rambus RAM is 80% more expensive than megabyte of the highest quality DDR: PC2-100. If you were to compare the lower quality DDR - PC-1600 that is roughly equivalent to PC-800 RDRAM, you will get approximately 100% premium. This is after Rambus has been around for year and 1/2 in RIMM form, vs. only about 3 months of availability of PC-2100 DDR. It's just hard to find any pro-Rambus arguments other than two and a half benchmarks where it shines (vs. 10s where it stinks). If Intel in fact does end up seeing red in Q2 or Q3, a lot of the credit (blame) will go to the managers who committed to RDRAM. Joe
