Beamer - Re: "That should give the 'Droids something to think about. Now, if it can only be cheaper to manufacture than SOI, and offer higher yields, AMD would be in for a world of hurt. "

At first blush, I would think that fully depleted silicon substrates (wafers) can be grown by standard processes and an epitaxial layer grown on top the polished wafer - standard processes all around.

I hope it's that simple.

Re: "SOI certainly isn't looking so rosy anymore."

Oh - it looks real rosy - through AMDroid rose-coloured glasses !
