but im not 100% sure where i read that and they said that soi was limited to 3.0ghz and that is why they go for sSOI
No, "sSOI" was first incorporated in a few top 130nm parts (FX-55 and 4000+), as well as all 90nm parts.

DSL (2nd gen strain) is going to be worked in to certain (maybe all) 90nm lines throughout H105.

I don't think they ever said that SOI was limited to 3GHz, but strain certainly does help with power and speed.
