Obviously there isn't any formula but you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that a working 52Meg SRAM is more difficult to produce than a 4Meg SRAM.

I believe that if you work the timeline backwards for Prescott you will conclude that Intel must have silicon now on 90nm process technology. As AMD has somewhat limited resources, compared to Intel, it would be hard pressed to be in development of a 90nm Hammer concurrently with an as yet non released 130nm Hammer and Athlon64. Money is tight and cash reserves are evaporating.
