Joe,

Brian might be right though. With a large (128K) L1 cache, you can hide some of the Rambus latency. Once Rambus get's going, it really gets going, so you could flsuh out large chunks of written back data at very high speeds and pull data in, at similiar high-speeds.

The trick to make RDRAM workis hiding it's front-end latency.

Steve

RDRAM having higher latency than SDRAM.

Joe,

Exactly.
