Intel benchmarks show little advantage to Rambus!
A new series of benchmarks have emerged that show Rambus memory
provides less oomph than cheaper, standard high-speed memory.
And the odd part is that the tests come from Intel, the major
proponent of Rambus.
In benchmark tests conducted by Intel, computers equipped with
standard high-speed memory and Intel's 815 chipset outperformed
similarly configured PCs with Rambus memory and the corresponding
820 chipset from the company.
