Mitch has suggested the optimum stackup for an 8-layer board. I will not switch
L6 and L9. Rather, I will keep the dielectric thickness between L5 and L6 very
small (about 3 mils), to obtain the highest possible buried capacitance for the
+5V plane. However, if bulk of your logic load is on +2.5V supply then you
should switch L5 and L9.

An excellent suggestion, Mitch.

Any benefit to switching L6 with L9?
