Re: "I wouldn't expect you to divulge any information. I was just going to tell you a good one..." I got a "good one" I'd like to share with EVERYONE. Apparently, Intel (during the 1GHz Coppermine talk at ISSCC) said the process is now good to 1.7V if they tighten up the Vcc specs. I think we MIGHT see an increase to 1.7V at the release of the next stepping. This probably gets them a quick 933MHz release. Now, AMD is already at 1.7V but may still be at 23A gate oxide (based on their Dec IEDM paper) vs. 20A for Intel. So, maybe AMD also responds by thinning to 20A and remaining at 1.7V. While the AMD device design (from the Dec IEDM paper) is inferior to Intel's, they have relatively more room for improvement and probably have made some in the 7 months since that paper was written. I think the "game playing" might have only just begun.(on both sides) just speculating, THE WATSONYOUTH
