If there's one thing I dislike, it's circular reasoning

Believe me I hate it just as much, and that's why I read back the whole thread to see if I could find any. And in retrospective, I can understand you had the impression of it, but I'll show you how I never ignored any of your arguments (which is the behavior that fuels circular reasoning IMO).

You said Intel claims 65% extra from .18 to .13 move while AMD claims 30%.

I disagree and I try to argue that most of those gains are or will be achieved because of core optimizations and that, in fact, only 30% will be due directly to the move to .13u. I think those core optimizations could benefit the .18u process just as much.

Re-read all my replies with that reasoning in mind and you'll find out that was really bringing new points by forcing you to compare apples to apples, IOW core stepping X to core stepping X.

Maybe at last there is no such thing as core optimizations, and you can NEVER apply optimizations made to a .XY micron version of a core to a .UV micron of the SAME exact core. If so, I understand why you've been lead to think I was ignoring your arguments, while I was thinking we were talking of different things.
