Kash,

2. Some folks are playing with a new SRAM structure that is based on a 2T cell. So this could well obviates the need for RDRAM. Assuming a 2x price differntial one can easily see the performance of a 128Mb SRAM system may be much much higher than say as RDRAM 256 Mb system with say 5-6 ns SRAM. Such high speed eliminate the need for seperate Video memory etc so a UMA can be effective.

The SRAM system would run much faster than the RDRAM system, because of the much lower latency. There is no such thing as precharge or a page miss in SRAM.
