Petz - Thanks for some honesty. Isn't Intel making Itaniums on 12" wafers?

I can't comment on that but if they are then the cost would only be lower.

<a SOI wafer ... shows lower frequency>

Opteron SOI: 1.8 GHz as of 4/03
.....................?.? GHz as of 8/03
Itanium bulk: 1.0 GHz, no, make that 0.8 GHz as of 4/03
.....................1.5 GHz as of 7/03

Come on John, you know what I meant. Athlon runs at 2.2Ghz and Opteron with an Athlon core can't get above 1.8GHz.
