Shane,

Re: " You're being a bit too black-and-white here Yousef. Smaller Leff in
itself is not enough to say whether one process is better than another."

Shane ... For a u-processor process, high drive currents at low operating
voltage along with an interconnect that provides low R & C is what is necessary
to achieve the highest speed performance. Off state - subthreshold leakage
has not been that much of a problem for CPU designers (<3na/um) ... For other
ASIC designs, the leakage currents are a very "big deal". This is why
TSMC and others "worry" about this parameter.

Make It So,
Yousef
