Tad, Having been through this a few dozen times, I might share some insight with you. You do a FIB on a speedpath. You test the FIB'ed parts and run a MHz vs voltage shmoo. The shmoo looks good, and you send new masks off to the fab. Three weeks later new parts come along and show a different problem which was not present in the samples you FIB'ed. There is really no good way to predict these problems. AMD's management is faced with time constraints which make the public disclosure of these happenings unavoidable, but they happen at all companies. It is easy to blame the management, but it really has nothing to do with them. Scumbria
