Designing Hammers exclusively for SOI, constructing an additional floor at Dresden and stuffing it with oxygen implanters is not a bit deal for you? Allocating process and device research dollars to SOI and away from bulk for 3 years is not a big deal?

Since when were cores "designed exclusively for SOI"? You think that migrating from Thoroughbred to Barton is a complete core redesign?

Who knows what the additional floor in Dresden is used for? Oxygen implanters was one rumor, and may be correct, but I can't see that they needed that much space for them.

As for "wasting" R&D money, well R&D is always speculative.

Look, I didn't say that the failure of SOI would not be a hit for AMD. The point I am making is that it would be a setback not a disaster and AMD would handle it. I get pissed off with the vicious euphoria/gloom swings on this thread at the slightest hint of something going well or badly.

Happy investing then.
Whatever the sentiment in those words, then the same to you.
