Windsock, It's quite probably that the xbitlab author is interpreting the same quote as the others that mentions producing first silicon that will be send back to design after first production is completed (the quote is in his article in a similar fashion as in the other articles - I don't think he has anything else). It means tape out has happened. It's not possible from that quote to draw any conclusion that the first products have come out of the factory, nor that the first penryn is functional.

Regards,
