"With 50% leakage at 1.13GHz on P-III, there are not much left, IMHO"

Sorta makes you wonder how Intel is going to achieve those clock rates they are projecting for next year, doesn't it? I guess the first hint we had of this was when it was noticed that Tualatin was drawing about the same amount of power at the same clock rate as the PIII, and Tualatin was at a lower voltage. Is Intel expecting tweaks to their process to solve this problem?

I wonder if AMD ran into a similar problem when they tried their original shrink to 0.13 micron. I do know that they suddenly stopped talking about 0.15 micron and after a quarter or so of silence, suddenly SOI was the future...
