Re: "As with IBM's leadership manufacturing microchips using copper interconnect technology, the company has now announced what it believes to be the first commercially-viable implementation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI). IBM's announcement is significant because, while others, including IBM, have been successful in developing SOI technology, IBM is the first to be able to apply it in building fully-functional mainstream microprocessors, the most complex type of chip. " Yippie-Tie-One-On for IBM. What the hell does this have to do with AMD slipping their SOI process for another 18 months?

Blow it out your Wazooo-Dan - Re: "SOI technology improves performance over bulk CMOS technology by 25 to 35%, equivalent to two years of bulk CMOS advances. SOI technology also brings power use advantages of 1.7 to 3 times. " You forgot one detail. SOI will provide (potentially) HIGH SPEED OR LOWER POWER - but NOT BOTH at the same time. You can look it up.
