Re: And I'll take the fact that you continue to ignore the issue of an apparent 125mm^2 die size to mean you are in denial, clinging to PR fluff in the face of:

The 125mm^2 issue is pretty easy to ignore for now because:

1) The only source so far is an undisclosed individual at The Inquirer, so it may or may not be accurate.

2) It may say more about the architecture than the process.

3) You could always hope that it is a 1MBx2 part with half the cache disabled. :)

no review part sent out
Same with Winchester - 90nm SOI turned out fine after all

apparent 68% shrink factor
Maybe, maybe not.

400 MHz speed deficit compared to 90nm
Same as 2.2GHz 90-nm Winchester compared to 2.6GHz 130-nm FX-55

no parts for consumer market until Q107
AMD can't even deliver 90-nm parts to everyone now. No sense trying to promise 65-nm to everyone when there is no chance of delivering.

Q207 until a 200MHz speed bump
It took six months to go from 2.2GHz 90-nm Winchester to a faster 90-nm Venice.

top speed of 2.5GHz for a 120W Barcelona
Disappointing just because earlier rumors claimed it would be 2.7-2.9GHz. The frequency is not surprising given where AMD's 90-nm and 65-nm dual-core CPUs are today.
