"Are companies like IBM and Intel "cheating" in using multichip module (MCM) packages to create the latest advancements in multicore processors, or is insisting that those next-generation devices be manufactured using a single monolithic design such those by Advanced Micro Devices just gamesmanship?"

Interesting, I did notice that in the article it says that the IBM chip is the PowerPC 5, however the newest is the PowerPC 6. I might be mistaken but I believe the version 6 will be on one die. The version 6 is a real peice of work, they broke the 4 ghz barrier with it, and they said they will be able to break the 6 ghz barrier as well!!!

I think they dont exactly cheat, but kind of sway in their direction a bit. Sort of like the Mazda RX7 claiming more Horsepower than they actually had.
