Lack of 90nm in channel

These amazing power consumption figures strongly suggest that:

a) 90nm chips are going to preferred customers (SUNW especially)
b) AMD wants to clear 130nm chips out of disties

That's why, for example Reseller Mike, sees few 90nm chips coming down the line.

I could not agree more. Considering this is silicon from a juvenile process just entering volume manufacturing, it's nothing short of impressive. I am delighted - and very close to excited. I can hardly remember the last time I was excited from anything in this industry. Guess it was 'bout five years back when I learned about AMD's plans for the Hammer-Architecture and saw Fab30 executing on Copper-K7s at the same time.
