Re: "I wonder if it's a microcode fix, or any silicon spin involved? What's the level of confidence that the fix works the first time?" I haven't a clue at this point. We'll just have to wait and see." Actually they're probably pretty certain. They can now "edit" or rewire parts with a focused ion beam "FIB" and tryout their fix before committing to new silicon. That way they can do their fix in a top metal layer and only need a minimal set of mask changes. They can even run their "fixed part" through system validation before getting their new silicon. EP
