I find it interesting what AMD has been doing, they acquired ATi, and have agreed to make RAMBUS memory controller... This leads me to believe they are going to be giving Intel as well as nVida a run for there money...

Seeing that they made these moves about a year ago I'm guessing some killer new stuff is on its way very soon.
Perhaps this is a topic for another discussion? Hal feel free to split this out if you want...
