I think you're right. The 125mm^2 Brisbane die size number isn't sufficiently challenged to discount it as a major possibility. 1. Remember the example where Hans calculated that an ideal shrink would be close to 115mm^2. 125mm^2 is actually pretty close to that ideal. Message 23080000 2. It fits with the Inq article too. theinquirer.net 3. Lastly there's really little info available that says otherwise. Based on Hans' remarks above it might well turn out that the only mistake you made related to the above is calling AMD's 65nm process 'bad' because Brisbane didn't shrink as some including the both of us expected. Separately I have also seen references to 2.7-2.9GHz for QC high end desktop in Q3 (Altair). From these two sources: - HKEPC: Message 22877620 - Inq: theinquirer.net To me it looks like you might be wrong here as well with regards to no higher frequencies for QC than 2.5GHz in Q3. Not entirely sure. All I'm saying is that neither you nor I can discount either possibility because of lack of sufficient data. Regards, Rink
