Price of not executing at 65nm in either process or design.

Information from Power 6's power breakdown shows a very leaky 65nm process.

To fix this for normal and low-power desktop use AMD had to increase the gate thickness on their variant which limited their scaling.

The TLB bug should not have escaped validation or pre-OEM testing either.

45nm sounds a lot better of the bat, probably due to the addition of immersion technology, and it needs to be if they are going to hang on until Bulldozer arrives.
