Hi Daniel.

You are correct and this (amongst many other reasons) is why I still 
recommend AMD over Intel for around 90% of my clients.

I have actually seen a very decent diagram of how AMD's integrate memory 
controller works in comparison to Intel chips, but because I personally 
find AMD's website VERY hard to navigate, this is the best I could find:
