NVIDIA had the SOI option with IBM. It didn't happen. There was no doubling of frequency and yields were poor on what GPUs IBM did produce. There is no evidence that AMD's SOI manufacturing could deliver anywhere near a 100% frequency increase over bulk at TSMC. Did Nvidia ever built a GPU on SOI? I guess not. Yesterday, Soitec announced that they would collaborate with ARM to build libraries for SOI based processes. That means that in the past, no such libraries were available. IIRC, NVidia is a customer of ARM (actually, Artisan Components, which was bought a couple of years ago by ARM). Is it a coincidence that 1 day after the ATI-AMD merger, an announcement is made that makes SOI based GPU's possible?
