Thanks to triple-channel memory, an on-board memory controller, and the removal of FSB bottlenecks, memory bandwidth is through the roof for the Core i7 motherboards. Latencies have also dropped significantly, due to CPU architectural changes that let cores talk directly to one another and to the memory.
