Kevin - Re: So what you're implying is that this is a design/speed path issue? Or that there is a problem adding the extra metal layer?

As I recall, AMD had one helluva time getting that 6 metal layer process going. That was considered one of the big weaknesses of the original NexGen design. AFAIK.

Kevin,

In response to your question, I think this quote is the best I can do.

Quote from Paul, "One thing to keep in mind - Intel is not the type of company to STOP and try and figure out who screwed up what and assign blame. They generally try to assess the current status and look at their engineers and decide what each group can do in the short term to HELP get them out of the current problem(s)."
