It explains what are the current issues with the actual "plastic bumped organic land grid array" packaging technology and how it will be modified into a "bumpless package with built-up layers" to accomodate billion-transistor processors."

    Or maybe it's just becuase it fixes some basic problem? Just becuase they "urge" an upgrade and don't say why (though that would be nice), and don't specifically reply that it's a security problem, doesn't mean it is a security problem.

    Just because they don't say anything about security means they are going the MS route of security through obscurity. Remember, the holes found in MS's software is found by 3rd parties, documented, and THEN MS denies it, doesn't patch it for days/weeks, or calls it a feature.

    Do you have any evidence what-so-ever that this upgrade has anything to do with security issues? No? Then shut the fuck up, troll.
