According to AMD engineers, Dual Stress Liner and SOI together should ensure about 16% increase in the frequency potential of Athlon 64 processors. This means Athlon64 90nm chips that are implemented with both SOI and DSL should achieve at least 2.8Ghz nominal clock frequencies. Those opterons which can reach up to 3Ghz on air are more likely golden chips with DSL and Strained SOI on 90nm.
