"On the other hand, UMC reportedly has a very good low-power process, so it could be that AMD would attempt to make notebook chips @ UMC."

Probably this is the strongest possibility. UMC will make the slower, but very low power versions. I hope AMD can develop low voltage, very low power logic on SOI. They are going to need it at some point.

Note that the core voltage on UMC's process is 1.2 volts. Also note that the ring oscillator delay is 14ps. Can't really say exactly how that will translate, but it looks as if the voltage is 33% less than their 180nm process, and about twice the speed. With suitable waving of hands and puffs of smoke, umm,

don't have a clue. But it looks good...
