Steve,

There should be no need to tape somethign out more than once with today's verification tools.

Despite the tremendous hype from EDA vendors, logic verification of a complicated design is far from automated. In fact 99% of the tools shown at DAC are useless for CPU verification.

It is pretty standard for a successful design to go through a dozen or more tapeouts during it's life cycle.
