AMD Skt AM2

The Socket AM2 has the ability to support DDR2 800 Mhz. This means the hypertransport front-side bus will still be a multiple of 800 and 1600. A Doubled RAM clock speed with the use of the on-chip memory regulator will result in half the memory latency between the RAM and the processor. Obviously, the doubled RAM clock speed will result in memory transfers up to two times faster.

Will doubling the RAM clock speed cause AMD to gain even more of an advantage over Intel?

Hehehe, the FX continues again...
I am really looking forward to lower latency for gaming, and AM2 looks like it should be what it is proclaimed to be and more =P
