DDR3 is currently too slow and has too high a latency to demonstrate a clear performance advantage over DDR2 and it was the same exact situation during the transition from DDR to DDR2 several years ago as I'm sure you must remember. It was severely hyped and when the benchmarking began it was a huge disappointment to hardware enthusiasts hoping for something great. I know I was disappointed after all the BS.
are you sure on the latency front? since the real world latency of 8-8-8 timing DDR3-1600 is the effectively the same as DDR2-800 4-4-4... and there's even 7-8-7 timing DDR2-2000 available right at the top end, thats real world latencies lower than DDR2 has _ever_ had unless I'm very much mistaken ?
