Sgolds -

Given this fact, it is likely that it really is the same die with the extra HT and memory controller disabled. Compared to cache, these two things don't take up much space.

Thanks for the correction. From a manufacturing standpoint, it would be far more efficient at this stage in it's life to use 1 die and differentiate based on demand and test results. It's no secret that Intel does this for both processors and chipsets.

You're on a roll. Did you mean mea culpa or have
you been watching the Sopranos too much?
