Kevin,

Re: "Am I incorrect to conclude from this that the optimization you refer to extends beyond production processes to the actual design/architecture of the chip? How does the fact
that AMD's process is more aggresive as to transistor density impact this analysis?"

This is incorrect, Kevin ... this optimization that is needed for higher
frequency operation (that I am describing) is all done at the process
level. AMD's process is more aggressive in density due to local interconnect,
but Intel's is more aggressive from the performance standpoint. Also, AMD's
density creates a more complex process that is harder to yield. So
Kevin which would you rather have, a process with smaller die or a process
with faster CPU's ??!! ... I pick the higher performance !!

Make It So,
Yousef
