Did you think AMD was lying or just unrealistic when they claimed mid-2005?
Neither, nor. Their wording was ok, taken with a wink.
What do you thing about their 45nm claims?
Depends on whether they go into the node without metal-gates or not. I'd think it would be the better idea to start 45nm in Singapore rather than Dresden, and not even trying without metal gates. Which would put availability in mid 09 timeframe imo.
