Looking at the Samsung website, they do appear to be more serious about Rambus than DDR, as they are sampling Rambus but not DDR: usa.samsungsemi.com usa.samsungsemi.com I couldn't come close to arguing the technical side of which technology has the most advantages, but you would think Intel has some good reasons for pushing it. Their biggest obstacle may be the prospect that computers for the mainstream won't have to GO that fast. Maybe in a year or two we'll see more plainly the reasons why we need Rambus and we'll understand Intel's push for it. The transition to SDRAM was also controversial, and Intel was the instigator and champion. Bandwidth was the issue. There were infrastructure problems. Sound familiar?
