Elmer Re <<Intel has already shipped faster than 800MHz CuMine processors.>>

Yes it sure sounds that way. I wonder if they are just engineering samples or real production units.

Now I am curious to know what kind of fab conversion it will take to convert Intel's fab to this. Is it already being done? Or the "coppy exact" is yet to get started. How long will the conversion take?

At another part of article they only talk about SRAM's being tested on this notch process.

"Ghani added that Intel uses a 16-Mbit SRAM design as a test vehicle for its 0.18-micron process node, and that such an SRAM, operating at a 1.16-GHz clock frequency, has been built using the notched-poly process. More details on that circuit are due to be revealed in February."

I wonder, it sure is interesting.
