Re: when would you say the Intel original expectation for 90nm was?

It's more than when, it's what. Intel was counting on the move to 90nm to produce a 21watt Dothan. They've had to extend the power envelope almost 50% to 30watts.

Maybe they'll be able to figure out what went wrong with their engineering estimates, and get back to 21watts, but for now, their future 90nm process is being matched by AMD's 6 month old 130nm Athlon XP-M.

Advanced Micro Devices will debut 12 notebook processors on Wednesday at the CeBit trade show, as part of its effort to ride the wireless wave.

The new notebook chips, which will be sold under the Athlon XP-M brand, include three based on the recently released "Barton" processor for performance desktops, and five energy-efficient models for so-called "thin and light" notebooks that use a maximum of 25 watts of energy, according to the company. Energy efficiency will help PC makers add wireless networking.
