Intel CPU's don't have their own memory controller. they use one that's on the Motherboard Northbridge, which acts as a bridge between CPU and RAM.
this is the reason AMD K8 CPU's get high memory bandwith
but anyway, the performance of Intel's memory controllers vary between different chipsets. but generally they also run better with 2 sticks
