wbmw,
AMD has shown no 65nm parts running
The Elmer routine?
yet they are going to be ready in only a year?
One year is plenty. It is not going to be a new design, just a shrink. Also, you are assuming that the day AMD has the first working silicon, they will rush to show it. That is not necessarily a correct assumption.
Isn't this more "faith" than "expectation"?
No, it is based on AMD public statements, allowing for a little slip.
