New K6-2's AMD's Athlon .25 æ process has .16um LEFF! idiot Wednesday, September 01, 1999 (01:26 AM West-Europa (zomertijd)) aceshardware.com It has been confirmed! The new K6-2s were not build with the older CS44E process, but with the newer and better CS44E7. The Athlon is produced using the same 0.25um CS44E7 process! CS44E7 uses tungsten and Cu dopped Al for interconnects, and have a smaller effective gate length ( 0.16um) and oxide thickness. The result is faster switching transistors at lower power. The new K6-2 (AFX) anmd 500+ should be able to reach at least 550 MHz and more on CS44E7 and should compete with Intel's lowend siblings throughout the year 2000. The use of a newer process enables the K6-x to reach higher speeds at lower power dissipation. Sources inside AMD indicate that this new process is nothing but awesome for both the K6 series and the Athlon!
