Maui-Dude - Re: "Hammer will begin with 0.18um, then switch to 0.13um process" Any idea why they would choose this route ? Why not directly on .13 ? The process .13 should be stable enough for samples by now and for volume production in 2-3 quarters. " More than likely, the Hamster is being designed with 0.13 micron transistors and 0.18 micron rules other than the transistor structures. This is how AMD did the original AthWiper - it came out at a relative low voltage - but large die size, using 0.18 micron transistor technology and 0.25 layout rules. As the die size was shrunk to 0.18, the die got a lot smaller (duh !) but the voltage remained the same - and actually increased for higher speed parts. Paul
