It's also a big increase in the bandwidth-delay product, the amount of data you have an opportunity to send down the pipeline before any responses could arrive.

Though for inter device communications for currently technology it could be used to save alot of wire space - especialy between memory and CPU's. When it becomes cost effective to do for things like that today, well that can be a opertunity as the delay is more than accomodated by the slower parts and buffers, just to save the use of parralel wires is worth it and can be faster as less hassels to syncronise channels. Look at disc interfaces over time with SATA replaceing PATA for speed. Just easier to design and process for.
