Man, these guys don't mess around.

I hope AMD starts caching up. Barcelona is supposed to be out soon but man, are they lagging. At least AMD have a decent memory controller architecture.

Does anybody have any news on if/when Intel plans on integrating memory controllers on die? Wed, 05 Sep 2007 19:08:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (SReilly) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?269020 http://osnews.com/thread?269020 http://realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT082807020032

You could start by reading that. Wed, 05 Sep 2007 19:30:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Marcellus) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?269040 http://osnews.com/thread?269040 Thanks. That was a very interesting and informative read. It also answered my question very well.

I always wondered why Intel was still sticking with the front side bus and this article explains that very nicely.

I'm really looking forward to the family of CSI implementations and what kind of impact it will have on throughput. Guess I'll have to wait a few years more before seeing an implementation for the desktop.

...I might add that those alpha engineers were acquired from DEC.

It's a serious matter, how to transition to different technologies like that, when everyone is mired in FSB technology.
