>Please remind me again why AMD is using SOI ?<

I think that SOI is a good move for AMD. However, I fail to see the logic behind moving to 100% SOI at 0.13-micron.

Using SOI for mobile Barton should be a phenomenal success. Intel simply will not have anything to match this, even with mobile Northwood. And using SOI with Hammer at introduction is probably also a good idea. I have even suggested that introducing an SOI variant of the desktop Barton would be a good idea. But, most of AMD's desktop Athlon 4 production should remain Thoroughbred, and when the value segment Hammer is introduced, it too should be produced using 0.13-micron bulk silicon.
