Roadmaps: I am curious. All AMD future products seem to rely on SOI technology.
However, two years ago Intel has completed a SOI
research and even published some results:
intel.com
"Scalability Revisited: 100 nm PD-SOI Transistors and Implications for 50 nm Devices"

The article says:
"SOI Ion-Ioff characteristics are significantly better (10-15% higher
Ion) than previously reported for 0.18 mm technology generation
transistors"

However, this was for old 0.18 technology. Based on
their data for smaller feature sizes of 0.13/100nm, their
conclusion for future generations was not overly
optimistic:

"For 50 nm devices, the performance gain from SOI
diminishes dramatically. Because product performance is
increasingly affected by interconnect delays, the net benefit of
SOI would be even smaller."

So, the question: does AMD disagree with the results?
Or the whole article a crafted misinformation?
Or something goofy was overlooked in the article?
