This story has resurfaced recently. It is referring to problems encountered
some time (c. 1 year) ago, not to anything discovered recently.
Recent progress on the T9000 has been good - a trade paper (Electronics
Times?) reported CORRECTLY that the T9000 alpha silicon has now come
out of fabrication and is being tested. The first fully integrated T9000
device should enter fab shortly.
(Note: the T9000 alpha contains all components of the T9000 except for
the virtual channel system; that is it contains processor, FPU, cache,
external memory interface, control unit and control links).
