By the way, doesn't AMD layout the chip by hand, while Intel uses chip synthesis packages? I'm wondering if that could make a big difference. FUD or complete cluelessness? I doubt if anybody has done a "layout the chip by hand" job on a major microprocessor since the original MC68000. From someone with actual industry experience: 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. #reply-14231713
