AMD strictly moderated (AMD)

You do realize that if you're right, it would mean that a Core 2 Duo with IMC (what we already know is going into Nahalem) is going to increase Intel's performance lead by your absurdly high estimates (and that's not including any other enhancements most likely going into the core).

Could be, however it has to be a conventional DDR controller and not an FB-Dimm controller which has no real benefit in latency. Also the already large cache and prefetching will tend to dampen the effect seen with K7-K8 but in some memory latency benches 10-20% could still be on the cards.
