<I believe Intel has avoided LI for the reasons you state, opting instead for higher yields and faster throughput, at the cost of die area. PB, do you know if Intel has any plans for LI on a future proces.>

I know Intel is not using local interconnect. My question is whether AMD is still using it. I thought the issue was your
questioning AMD's ability to yield large on chip caches.

We are not using it at .18. I suppose anything could happen in the future, but Intel likes high yield processes. There would have to be an extremely compelling performance issue. But for the moment, Intel is more than happy with its transistor scheme without it.

To answer your question more directly: I doubt it, and certainly not any time soon.
