Yes, it is DDR3 1066, but every memory channel has a buffer chip ON THE BOARD! That means all the mess of FB DIMM with more power and more cost, except the cost comes at the board level, not the DIMM level. But, I guess if you are going to pay that much for a processor, you'd have no problem dropping the extra coin on the board.

I heard someone refer to beckton as "Itanium III" this past week. Feels fitting.
