2080 Mhz with latency of 10-10-10-24 about the following latencies for the currently available memory speeds:
~6.5-6.5-6.5-15 if running at 1333 ~5-5-5-12 if running at 1066 ~4-4-4-9 if running at 800 ~2.5-2.5-2.5-6 if running at 533 ~2-2-2-5 if running at 400 Sure no processor out now needs the bandwidth but it is nice to see the latency settings at 2080 is pretty much comparable to the fastest DDR400 latencies. However DDR3 really needs to be cranked up to get there, fortunately it seems to have a lot of headroom. Acctually it looks like the ram speed was at 1040, which shouldn't be hard to with a 1066Mhz DDR3 stick. They only had one stick. The RAM Ratio is 1:2 so not filling the FSB of 2080, assuming I'm reading that correctly. ---------------------------------- RAM Size : 1024 MB RAM Freq : 1040 MHz RAM Type : DDR3-SDRAM Single Channel RAM Ratio : 1:2 RAM Timings : 10-10-10-24 ---------------------------------- Slot 1 : 1024MB (PC3-8500F) Slot 1 Manufacturer : Micron Technology  |

bandwidth was completely wasted... only quad core would need that much....

Again, when did memory performance truly matter? Maybe when Netburst and K7 were the hot stuff.
This stunt was just more ewanking. |
One place i would like to see DDR3 used though would be the mobile sector. Make some tighter timings and lower the clock down some, coupled with the lower voltage requirements should help battery life a little. But in that case performance isn't the point... battery life is.
