It also fits nicely with the design trade offs made in the P7 and the Jackson stuff is almost spooky. I want to see it for real before I am convinced it is true, but that is probably because I see it as such a big leap forward. Yes, but I really don't think this is the best way to do it since it would probably require a lot more logic on the processor itself. Some of the stuff I have seen on sledgehammer make me think it may do something like this. Going with a CMP configuration that shares execution resources would almost double die size.
