The benefit of doing that is they tend to have a smaller die, lower power and likely can squeeze more out of a given architecture on a particular process than AMD can. The downside, there is going to be more errata because it's harder to verify.

I don't think so CJ. Intel has always used looser design rules and usually fewer metal layers, thus they get a larger die but better yields. (Or so I am told<G>) Additionally AMD has used local interconnect for their SRAMs and at least up to now they have had smaller SRAM cells. As for errata, I don't see how this could be a process thing.
