Combjelly, <An average of 160ns(for an 8 way) doesn't sounds too bad.>

That's not average latency. That's best-case latency.

As for 4-way, the best-case latency is quoted at 140ns, which is about the latency of an Intel-based 4-way server. In this case, Hammer will lose the latency advantages of the local memory controller, but try and make up for it with the scalability.

(EDIT: That was Joe's conclusion in the first place. My bad.)
