Kash, Raising core Vcc from 3.2V to 3.3V: Given the I/O Vcc on the same chip is running at 3.3V, I have to agree that raising the core to 3.3V has negligible impact on the reliability issue, just the power consumption. However, this scenario demonstrated a very immature AMD process (just like Yousef has pointed out). These guys are still tweaking parameters on production units. That is very scary. I bet there are a lot more hidden important agendas being shoved under the rug. Would you personally entrust AMD's 0.25um manufacturing capability knowing that 0.35um are still being monkeying around? I am talking about high volume of course, not just a few samples at the trade shows. John.
