>Another funny thing is that Intel, after ridiculing SOI for years, now saying that they only ridiculed PD SOI. According to Intel FD SOI is the "correct" SOI, because it lacks the floating-body effect.

Now it looks like the floating-body effect can be used to build super dense and super fast caches. I wonder if they will eat their words again soon?<

Not soon. The ability to implement embedded DRAM using PD will not become an issue unless and until embedded DRAM actually makes it into high performance CPUs.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Intel attempts to force the die size up at 65nm by implementing a 4MB L3 cache in SRAM on an FD SOI x86 processor, and AMD is able to counter with a 65nm Hammer/Dog with 4MB L3 cache using higher density embedded PD SOI DRAM.
