Petz: Returning to the original integrated Northbridge idea, is there a way to make most of the northbridge section an FCPGA which is programmed after the rest of the die has been manufactured?

I'm not sure what you mean by "programmed" here... Sure, you could leave much of the timing up to later "programming", but the interface itself would have to be hard-wired in silicon.

I suspect that this would have some serious negative performance implications.
