Scumbria - Re: "Once you have adequate clock speed and a large enough cache, the performance of CPU's is limited by dram latency, not the internal architecture of the CPU. "

Sure - then system designers would replace DRAM with SRAM main memory - despite the costs - and use cheap, slow CPUS from AMD - but they don't.
