JC,

Besides the difficult datapath issues associated with the double speed ALU, the control logic is likely rather complex. Removing the double speed ALU would probably be a 6-12 month effort.

Intel does full custom design, and any change like that is a major hassle. One of the big advantages that AMD has is they use a cell based datapath methodology, which allows for much faster design turnaround times.
