Scumbria - Yes, new designs when implemented often need on Si speed path debugging.

This is one excuse for AMD's predicament, not a solution. Given the inherent scenario you have just described, and the fact that is is a given AMD is playing catch-up, how is AMD going to get out of their current predicament?

BTW, sometimes designs DO work right out of the box. Although I can't be more specific, several iterations of what I have described previously as "the most successful CPU's of all time" were shippable on the A0 stepping. Just FYI.
