SYH - Perhaps it doesn't for Intel's process and designs. Clearly AMD has a different take. And it's not something you can just plug in or pull out, it affects the entire design.

"I've read several times that Intel claims SOI at 65 nm does not give significant advantage." They made the same claim at 130nm and 90nm. Now true, thick box, partially depleted SOI has declining advantage with smaller geometries. But there is a difference between "declining advantage" and "no advantage". As far as "significant" goes, it all depends on how you define it.
