Using burst technology, SRAM requests can be pipelined, or collected so that requests within the burst are executed on a nearly instantaneous basis. PB SRAM uses pipelining, and while it's slightly behind system synchronization speeds, it's a possible improvement over Sync SRAM because it's designed to work well with bus speeds of 75 MHz and higher. Look for PB SRAM to be a major player in Pentium II systems and beyond.
