edit:Why is it slower the latency of the memory? 101ns is much more than 5x ns. where is the 'on-die' communication? Your test program is wrong?

Thanks Anand!I don't know if you'll have time, but one of the things lacking in all of the other reviews of the OC XE955 is a comparison to an OC X2 4800...
Speculation is quite rife, and it would be a good comparison IMNSHO.
Cheers!

If by "back" you mean finally (barely) able to compete with existing AMD performance, then yes. ;P
