I don't like this. A bad bet on SOI can ruin AMD.

What's the big deal? AMD have 6 months of non-SOI .13 production before the SOI process is introduced. SOI is not until 2H02, which is at least 9 months away. If SOI does not deliver what IBM/AMD claim then that will be borne out in the current engineering samples and there is still time to switch horses.

Also, I have always had the greatest respect for IBM's R&D. If they say SOI is the dogs bollocks then I am inclined to believe that over the rather nebulous extrapolations you find in Intel's research papers. In fact, wasn't there an equally unjustified claim about copper being no advantage at .18?
