Dhellman Re..The postponed launch of the K8-core processors is indeed due to problems in the back-end verification of SOI technology and minor changes in processor design,<<<< Do you any anyone else here know what "back end verification of SOI technology" means specifically. Is this usually a minor or major problem.

Dave- K8 launch delay First, read the article in Digitimes, not Magee's rehash in the Inquirer. The Digitimes article is much clearer, I guess because Taiwanese people speak better English than Magee. One of the mysteries for me is the fab for Barton. If Barton will ship in Q1 03, as Heye stated, then Barton will be sourced out of Dresden, no? I just can't imagine a new fab starting up with an unproven SOI process. AMD wouldn't do that, would they?
