No they are not. Fab 30 180nm process uses 100nm gates. AMD's 130nm process uses 50nm gates. M. "Comments Ryszard Soblowski: "The secret of the mystery is simple and the PR blah blah does not show the difference between stepping size (0.18, 0.13 etc.) and the size of the smallest elements as the gate/channel length. Not many journalists know this difference either. " Here you can find my comments enter.pl , unfortunately not in English. But, in brief, the AMD HIP7 process, now under preparation in Dresden, based on 0.13-micron stepping, uses a 50nm channel/gate length, so reducing the size by 2.5 during the six years period, as Intel promises, is nothing exciting. If you don't believe this, just ask Gordon Moore."
