The memory situation with the Core i7 appears to be similar to that of the Core 2 processors, at least for now anyway. That said, the Core i7 processors do appear to be able to utilize the massive bandwidths of the higher clocked DDR3 memory for example. However putting this bandwidth to use is another story, as none of the tests featured in this review showed any real advantages to running DDR3-1600 opposed to 1333MHz memory with a Core i7 processor.
