<It appears to be made on a hybrid process using AMD's 0.18 micron front-end transistor process - to get the low operating voltage - but the back end is the 0.25 micron metallization process.> Can you or anyone else explain this in more detail? I'm confused by your usage of the terms "front-end" and "back-end." For me, front-end means pre-silicon design, and back-end means anything physical like layout, routing, and post-silicon debug. How do you mix a 0.18 micron process with a 0.25 micron process? Tenchusatsu
