They say in the article that AMD "can't" build more than 4 decoders. Is that really true? It could mean:

* we can't get a budget to sort it out

* 5 would violate information theory

* nobody wants to wrestle that pig, period

* there are 20 other options we'd rather exhaust before trying

When they've done 12 of those things and the other 8 turn out to be infeasible, will they call it quits, or will someone figure out how to either get more decoders or use them more effectively?
