Ted,

Re: "Personally, I doubt the use of "stressed silicon" is rocking the semi world to its foundations ..."

Ted, you are once again outside your "area of expertise". You now proclaim
that this "strained silicon" is a "non-event" ?? That is really stupid
on your part. The fact is that this will alter the mobility and thus the drive
current at a given gate length. The impact will be that INTC won't have to
push the gate length quite so hard to get their typical generation gain
in performance. This has tremendous impact on lithography tooling (scanners and reticles).
This is also a "big deal" because it will be implemented at 90nm, while others
are waiting for 65nm.

Hope this helps.

Make It So,
Yousef
