SCUMbria - Re :"I would expect a brand new design of this complexity to take 3-4 years."

Get serious !

It's still an x86 design !

You are an AMD ALIBI machine !

The K7 took AMD quite a long time to design and they are still a LONG WAY from manufacturing it !

Even Merced - designed completely from the ground up - only took ABOUT 5 years to design - including complete definition of the EPIC architecture.
