When will Intel use a real FSB?

[Mephala]

Who else thinks it's ridiculous that Intel uses the same bus it's been using forever only slightly upgraded? More importantly, will the later-edition Prescott or Tejas chipsets support some kind of better solution? It's doubtful they'll use Hypertransport or even Redwood, but either flavor of RapidIO or PCI-Express could be possible. Ideally they'd have a memory controller, and possibly chipset-supported memory as well. (I'd love to see an on-die parallel interface to PSiRAM; yeah right). XDR? Please?

It is a real FSB. AMD used a FSB that was already not new and got it up to speed just like Intel has done. Intel will have to change, but they made the whole design around high speeds...so they might be able to get pretty fast before changing.
