< I don't need to measure their gateoxides to see that their standards have been relaxed, and I've seen enough process changes to know that improvements lower Vcc's not the other way around. This is desperation any way you look at it, you're just polishing turds.> I think your point of view is well stated. However, you have criticized others in the past when they were guessing without any supporting evidence or clearly stating the expression of any opinion. I am not certain that there is any difference in process. However, when a company such a AMD with all their well known faults goes to IBM to sell components they are not just bought by IBM in blind faith. IBM is the one company that possibly can match or beat Intel process excellence and knowledge. IBM will not buy turds, polished or otherwise, from AMD. IBM is using these parts. As far as I concerned in passing the IBM procurement process necessary for IBM to use the parts it is good enough for me.
