especially this:

Support for Formality will be available in upcoming design
kits for our ASIC products, including SA-27, our new 0.12-micron copper-based
technology

Big Blue doing very well!

and, overall, one of the things Corrigan complained about, tools, are getting better:

In one benchmark, Formality demonstrated its capacity by
verifying a 2.2-million-gate design in about half a day. In another benchmark demonstrating
performance, Formality verified a 1.2-million-gate flat design against the same size hierarchical
design in under one hour. The same design would require weeks of gate-level simulation to
obtain just partial coverage of the design
