Maxwell, You wrote.. >>>Latency on SDRAM is much better than Rambus. This is what I found in an article- snipped but unadulterated. So do you still think the latency is better in SDRAM? Latency is a problem in all DRAM. MileHigh ----------------------------- Even though RDRAM has bigger bandwidth than SDRAM, it still suffers from a key problem common to all DRAM designs: latency......<snip>..... On top of that, is the wait imposed by the system--such as Direct RDRAM--that transfers that information. Early Direct RDRAM technology had high latency, but the modern design is about 10 billionths of a second faster than any other technology, shipping or planned, Toprani said.
