Lower voltages, possible improvement when moving to Quad core (hard to say really), and who else knows! Anandtech has done a series of articles showing the difference between DDR-333, DDR-400, DDR2-533, and DDR2-667. You know what? The only memory to not performan within the error spec (for 95% of testing) was the DDR-333, and even then it was not much off.

I'm sure there are various reasons for DDR2, but just look at how long it took AMD to go DDR2 (note: Not before it was economically cheaper than DDR).
