Re:As of early this year, they are calling for 5x lower leakage. Leakage is just part of the problem. Intel's low power 65nm process has a leakage 3 orders of magnitude lower than the 65 nm process they use for their processors. It comes at the expense of the performance though. The Intel source you quote says: More than 20 percent improvement in transistor switching speed or more than a five-fold reduction in transistor current leakage. intel.com So it's one or the other. Five times reduction in leakage means no performance improvement over 65nm. btw: here's the high-k/metal gate stuff for higher performance combined with low leakage: intel.com intel.com Regards, Hans
