>Re: The P4 may not be the greatest chip out there right now, but it looks very tough to beat on .13µ coupled with DDR-SDRAM<

If you look at Jerry's own roadmaps, he shows the Athlon falling behind on the performance curve starting in Q4 2002.

Scumbria: Two "channels" of DDR should be significantly faster than two channels of RDRAM.

Like I said: "Heck, if Intel really feels that more bandwidth is needed, they can always use 2 DDR-SDRAM channels".

Sure, the bandwidth will be greater, but probably not overly so. There are fairly good indications that DRDRAM can get closer to its maximum theoretical bandwidth than SDRAM and DDRSDRAM - at least under some conditions.
