Give it up. The liability from lawsuits by people who sue after getting hit in the head by heavy gold flying pony crap will bankrupt you, just like it did the owners of the goose that laid golden eggs...

3D chip layouts are part of this roadmap. This kind of roadmap isn't really intended to say what their process will be, however. It's intended to give numbers to their core design teams about how many transistors they will be able to play with, what the latencies will be, and so on. These teams will then start working on designs on the assumption that the predictions are correct, then tweak them a bit if they were wrong. If they go badly wrong, you get something like the Pentium 4.

Yeah - the pay is better.
