Re: The can and they will. Simplified here's how: Yonah is a dual core dothan.

You're right - that's a good point.

But it's kind of moot in the context of the original discussion which was Elmer's contention that AMD's SOI process was a useless waste because Intel can make Dothan in the same power footprint as Turion (maybe even a few percent less).

My point was that producing the 64-bit Turion in that power footprint was a lot more of a challenge than was, say, producing Athlon XP-M or Dothan and that AMD's more advanced SOI process was what let it do so when Intel couldn't.

I think you were pointing out that if they can do a dual core 32-bit Yonah next year they could (by my logic) do a single core 64-bit part - which makes sense.

But by the time dual 32-bit core Yonah is out, AMD's dual 64-bit core "Taylor" will be out or getting close.

The notion that today's Intel process is as good as (or better than) today's AMD process (Elmer's contention) because of something that's scheduled for next year, does not necessarily follow.
