10bux says they're 18month old BH5 chips.

OCZ is releasing several new products featuring the new EB memory in its Platinum series. OCZ is offering 400MHz and 433MHz unbuffered DDR memory in 256MB, 512MB and 1GB single modules. Paired EB DDR memory is also available in 512MB (2x256), 1GB (2x512), and 2GB (2x1024) kits.
 
maybe...lol
Ill take you up on that bet though if your serious.
[Enhanced Bandwidth technology is an exciting improvement that, at 2.5-2-3 (CL-tRP-tRCD) latencies, allows most applications to use data bandwidth that is the same as that delivered by CL2 modules.
 
Haha, so they "emulate 2-2-2 timings" while running 2.5-2-3? Why not just run at REAL 2-2-2 timings? :p
 
You forget that by allowing a slower CL 2.5 will have a tremendous effect on the memory speed.
So we have the non-existant BH-5 and soon BH-6 that can do 2-2-2. Basically we could have say EB A-data/Hynix BT-D43 that can do 2.5-3-3 or maybe better at 250mem.
So you get BH-5 performance at higher memory speeds without shoving a god forsaken 3.3V into it. All you need now is say 2.7/2.8V and you have BH-5 equivalents.
 
All EB technology is supposed to do is allow memory to have timings of 2.5-2-3 vs 2-2-2 but run at about the same speeds.
This could possibly lead to a LOWER cost equivalent to the NON-EXISTANT BH-5 chips.
You have to realize that there is no more BH-5, CH-5 can only do 2-3-2, so this is pretty much the only alternative to 2-2-2 timings as we speak.
