Subzero, Re: "Actuallly, AMD and IBM have the same problem with SOI. Both have poured hunderds of millions of dollars into SOI development and IBM can only get a 0.13 micron/SOI/Copper up to 1.3 GHz Power4 CPU - and AMD can only get a 1.4 GHz Opteron CPU on a 0.13 micron SOI/9-layer copper process."
I hope you don't mind the correction, since it actually helps to prove your point. IBM's Power4 currently reaches 1.3GHz on a .18u SOI process. Their .13u SOI product is called Power4+, and it reaches 1.45GHz.
