RE:"Process experts. Is it possible that Intel encountered "leakage and
standby currents" problems in the 0.18u process, resulting in CuMine
delay?"

Sounds like a major design problem. Probably total redesign, layout and a complete set of new masks will be needed if the problem can even BE fixed. Sounds like it could be a premature end of the road for the P6 core with no P7 in sight. Intel is a sitting duck on the midway.
