Charles - <On the positive side - CuMine uses extra layer of metal for local interconnect and layout guys seem to have taken care of some of the critical RC paths to help the ramp.>

This is incorrect.

K7/AMD uses local interconnect technology, Intel does not (thank Goodness). The K7 currently has seven layers of interconnect counting M0 (local interconnect) on its .25 backend process. P856 (.25) has 5 layers of interconnect. P858 (.18) has 6 layers of interconnect.
