Re: They can rely on volumes being shippable, on support being available, on reference designs being ready

Get a clue. Intel all but disappeared from Europe during the notched-gate fiasco, and the reference designs for a number of their recent platforms didn't work - 820 3RIMM, 840 with MTH, etc. resulting in manufacturers having to scrap hundred of thousands of motherboards.

AMD has had fewer problems (but not none), and the OEMs know it.

Re: I'd also say that the top tier businesses are also privy to a lot of future development

Yep, and given the way they've all leaped onto AMD's mobile platform, despite the earlier availability of .13 Tualatins, should be telling you something about the performance of AMD's SOI samples.
