Re: "With AMD's need for higher priced/higher performing processors, the rational assessment is that Sharpy is not Production Worthy."

We weren't discussing production worthiness. We were discussing how AMD planned to implement a pseudo-L3 cache on top of the socket 7 infrastructure. You suggested that AMD was in the "ideas" phase of figuring this out, and that was possibly why (in your opinion) Sharpy may be delayed. I simply pointed out that AMD wouldn't (COULDN'T) have working silicon if they were still in the "ideas" phase.
