Re: "Those notched gates may be a performance boon, but they seem to be a production boondoggle. Well, I'm sure that the production teams at Intel will pull it off - we all know how good they are."

Looks now like the notched gate process cheat is going to get Intel to 800 MHz. Kudos to Intel, but this isn't any better than cranking up the voltage a notch or two to improve speed bins. It seems clear to me that the end result is substandard--a reduction in long term processor reliability.
