mas- My bad. I assumed your link in your response to CJ was to the same story as CJ was quoting. :(

On the other hand, that was Fred Weber; things could be different under Phil.

I for one, am not willing to be definitive either way on this one - I think they will have to cross that bridge when they come to it.

I do have to disagree with cd's argument against it, though. People haven't had any qualms about buying chips with lower levels of cache, which have often been chips with parts of larger cache disabled due to defects. As long as it does the job they want to accomplish for the price they're willing to pay, they won't care if there's a defective core disabled in the package.
