Re: "What is this bit about ibm's "strained silicon"? I am sure intel thinks that is totally unneeded since it was not made by intel...." Oh...just like Intel said SOI wasn't necessary back in 1998 - but IBM claimed that with their vaunted SOI technology, they would be shipping 1 GHz PowerPCs by mid - 1999. Well...mid 1999 came and WENT TWO YEARS AGO - and IBM STILL hasn't produced a 1 GHz PowerPC. Oh...as you know, Intel is shipping 1.7 GHz Pentium 4s - NO COPPER - and NO SOI !! {======================================} eet.com Posted: 10:00 a.m., EDT, 8/3/98 IBM takes SOI technology to market By David Lammers EAST FISHKILL, N.Y. — IBM Corp. will use silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology to manufacture a range of logic ICs, starting with a PowerPC 750 microprocessor in the first half of 1999. By signaling that it is ready to apply SOI technology to volume manufacturing, IBM has set the stage for yet another epic shift in the semiconductor industry, less than eight months after saying it had reached a similar confidence level with copper interconnects. IBM will combine copper interconnects with SOI transistors
