Chipguy: Wrong again as usual. They sell quite a bit of the 512KB L2 SCs and 1MB L2 DCs and all of them are fused off dies. You see them in plenty of low cost and entry level PCs. How many E2140, E2160 and E2180s you see advertised all over? Lots! They are all fused off DC dies. It doesn't matter, if its deliberate from a good DC die or required by necessity to sell a defective die. Even Nehalems will have that option to turn off caches and cores. Hans de Vries' layout shows it there in the upper right hand side. And show me this 3MB L2 DC die shot for that to be not a fused off 4MB 65nm or 6MB 45nm DC die too. Give it up Chipguy. The facts are against you. Perhaps its just that by accepting this, it just shows that Intel has poor enough yields for whole C2Ds to make this a necessary and practical use of gaining revenue per processed wafer. Pete
