Elmer, Re: "Intel will know how hot it runs, the voltage and power consumption, the frequency headroom and the performance. They'll know how many feature are turned off because of bugs etc and they can then estimate it's arrival in the market place. They can also measure the channel lengths and gate oxides and get insight into the health of AMD's 9 metal layer SOI process."

They could get an early snapshot of these things, sure, but you should already know that all these variables can certainly change from stepping to stepping. Early Hammer samples will not give you a clear picture of the final product. Far from it, in fact.

But I guess any information is a good thing. Better to have foggy glasses then to be blind entirely.
