Re: "Which makes it a design problem. A design problem will always be worse than a manufacturing problem because an erratum in a design effects all the chips and a partial redesign has to be done, like AMD's mask problem. Of course, a manufacturing problem effects all the chips, but I would assume it takes much less time to fix a manufacturing problem compared to a design problem." Maybe yes maybe no but the context was the discouraging environment for Designers. Even a perfect design could be screwed up by poor manufacturing. Intel hasn't shown that problem. EP
