BMW, Re : "If more layers were as good as you say and if costs were as insignificant as you say, then everybody would be making extra interconnect layers their goal."

If you read my post, it say that the costs are probably insignificant to have one additional layer, compared to benefits. Simply because, if you are told to shrink a processor (and additional logic to increase the performance to just keep up with Moores law) on a new process with no additional layer, I doubt you can do it (unless you have left a lot of leeway in the original design - which is rare). An additional layer must give lesser benefit (and increased cost) and that is where Intel and AMD draws line at different points.
