it takes finite time to make changes to a chip design

"Finite"? You mean as opposed to infinite time? Wow, what a shocker. :) :)

Given that K8L has taped out and likely exists as first silicon, those 9 months you are postulating aren't nearly enough to account for the changes that AMD has owned up to.

Oh, really? AMD just couldn't hustle a design along if they'd abandoned another one (K10), and decided to go with a modified K8 design instead?

NO way to do it, says the design student.

Uh huh. Claiming detailed knowledge of what AMD's designers are capable of, when you have none. Would that be... "pseudo-authority"? :) :) :)

CJ, re: Given that K8L has taped out and likely exists as first silicon.

I must have missed something. Are you sure it taped out? Why are you sure?

Secondly why do you reason it exists as first silicon?

Tx.
