Re: how well do you remember this post
Reasonably well. In the context it was made (responding to one of Engel's posts that AMD parts weren't reliable - this after MTH, 1.13, 3RIMM boards, etc.) I think it was appropriate. Looks like there was a 2 year delay when AMD ran into trouble on its first shrink of a copper process.
Now that Intel has to face the same issues AMD faced 2 years ago, that post is looking pretty good!
