Why would AMD use the exact same phrase as Intel? BTW, IBM fabricated a 65nm SOI SRAM in late 2002. 12/04/2002, 4:30 PM ET EAST FISHKILL, N.Y.--IBM Corp.'s Microelectronics Division next week is expected to announce a radical and combination strained-silicon/silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology for use in making high-performance chips at the 65-nm (0.065-micron) node. IBM has already fabricated an SRAM, based on the "strained-silicon-on-SOI" technology in the lab, but commercial chip products are not due out until the 65-nm node in the 2005 time frame, according to officials from the East Fishkill-based organization.

"Did AMD specifically say fully functional?" No, but then they never do. So this isn't some warning sign. For 180nm copper, they did mention doing an SRAM at one of the CCs, but nothing was ever said about it at 130nm. However, I am sure they did SRAMs on 130nm.
