Go up one level in this thread


Do you have any benchmarks supporting your view? I'm just asking as I don't have
any. A benchmark simulating random accesses of small fragments of memory should
do it. The architectural design choices taken when designing RDRAM seems to go
against what you say. Namely, its time expensive to select a new memory location
to read from. A chess program would need to read a fair amount of data from
memory to mortgage that. But then again every programs mileage may vary. RDRAM
is hot coupled to streaming data and SIMD instructions.
