Interesting article... I honestly don't think that the author knows a metal interconnect from a polysilicon gate, but there are a couple of glaring flaws in his analysis... and I mean GLARING. First and foremost, 0.13 micron and 300mm may be "one and the same" to the people in Ireland and New Mexico... but there is also a 200mm process which has completed development in Oregon that is going to Arizona and possibly Massachusetts as well. The 300mm development project is most likely independent of the 200mm development. So while 0.13 micron on 300mm may be 12 months away... it's much closer in 200mm land... Second, in terms of raw performance the Intel 0.18 micron process is excellent. There were clearly some issues with the product, RDRAM, the MTH, etc., but those have absolutely nothing to do with the process. Where he's getting yield data is a good question as Intel doesn't publish such information and the data used looks remarkably fabricated (i.e. assume a "good" yield for P3 and halve it for P4).
