Alice, Re: "Let me suggest for you the following way of deduction. Leakage is a bad thingy."

LOL. You know all about the process "thingy", don't you.

Re: "Why would marketing stress the range of leakage by narrowing the graph scale? Making the effect to look bigger? Makes no sense."

Ask yourself what the marketing slide is *supposed* to say. It was *supposed* to compare the benefits of 300mm wafers. That's why it's titled "300mm Performance Matching". Under my assumption, if the graph were set to a different scale with the origin at zero, the advantage would look at lot less impressive. And frankly, this makes much more sense than your assumption.

Re: "Therefore your last-straw assumption is most likely wrong."

I believe that your "last-straw assumption" involved a processor with 4x-5x the current level of leakage, or in your words, "60-80A."

For a 1.5V processor, that would mean that at least 90-120W of power will be dissipated from the processor - even if all the transistors are "off". That is supposed to be more reasonable than my assumption?

Let me give you a piece of advice.

Try scrutinizing your own assumptions before criticizing the assumptions of others. It would make you look more intelligent than you look right now.
