John; I intended my comment about the slot 1 and microchannel architecture to indicate two different ways that a proprietary and protected market(with less competition) could be made. They are obviously different. Same with Kodak and its accessory shoe patents in the 50's that the courts threw outafter it was shown to be technically useless, and just a market protection scheme.
I am sure that Intel has lower costs than AMD, but AMD will get better, and has shown themselves to be better in that game than Intel. (higher yields, faster chips) which is why Intel usually exits after AMD gets good at what they do best. It is a complex game of costs. yields, with $1 B foundries, and so I can understand Intel trying to Kill AMD at all costs.
I guess the total charge is C*V*V/2, and capacitance is area dependent, however so are traces and thinner traces hold less charge as well as the copper having less resistance. Not being an EE, I was thinking of I*I*R losses, and lower R is less heat. So you say that resistance free cell discharge makes heat??(assuming a superconducting cell). I tend to think that if you have lower R traces, then the heat dissipation ends up being externalized to the power supply internal resistance in some proportioned manner.??, and elsewhere??
Mammals are here, dinosaurs are gone(mostly), A common allegory as to how large companies are dinosaurs and the small newcomers are mammals, and do better with new ideas.
I guess the dies size and yield are all important here. I remember days when Intel had zero yield and I was waiting for CPUs(4 bit)
Give me some addrsses where you and the Maxwell demon talked, so we do not rehash old news.
