Mani,

<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.>

SRAMS typically run significantly faster than CPUs on any given process. When Intel was running PIIIs on 0.25 lines the full speed SRAMs were coming out of their 0.35 lines (or at least I gather it used to be that way).

In context of CuMine I wonder what this means - may be one of the process guys will comment.

Also note that even these frequncies are below the rumored Athlon Cu frequencies.
