Andreas, It's kind of like saying that everything is broken. One part that I don't get is the layout redesign for extra layer. Why would AMD come put with a process technology spec specifically targeted for Hammer with capability of 9 layers, then proceeded to design hammer with 8 layers, only to say "Doh, we need 9 layers". As far as onchip memory controller, there is no need for it to run at full CPU speed. It would not be a bottleneck even if it ran at 1/2 speed. If there was any sign that memory controller would be the frequency limited part, I think AMD would have gone with 1/2 speed. Maybe they realized this late and are doing it now, which could have some credibility. That SOI problems - that sounds credible. Joe
