Re: "The fact that piece of silicon executes x86 code tells you very little about what parts of the chip are functional." Huh? This part is supposed to be already in production. You're suggesting that their validation partners don't even have fully functional silicon? How can the part be in production when there aren't any fully functional parts available? My experience has been that it takes months to validate a processor and you are claiming they are still shipping broken alpha samples to potential customers. Get real Scumbria. That's nuts. EP
