I haven't bothered to <i>really</i> research the architecture of A64 chips, or I might have some idea myself about this, but still...
We know that Dual Channel memory does very little for the A64, as the extra bandwidth it provides is pretty much surplus to requirements, whereas the P4 is bandwidth-starved when not running Dual Channel so it benifits loads.
But what about the upcoming Dual Core chips? As they're twice the CPU, will dual channel finally have a considerable impact in performance for an AMD system?
Just curious..... Anyone know about this?
