Ali,

Re: "In my opinion, the tiny differences in process implementation do not play significant role
in the final speed grade of a CPU. The basics of the process was developed at Sematech
and transferred equally to all members of the consortium."

Ali, please stick to technical areas that you which you know something ...
SEMATECH has not transferred an entire process to any of the member companies.
Instead, SEMATECH focuses on developing some unit processes and working
closely with vendors to give future specifications. Also, member companies
have always insisted that SEMATECH play no role in device architecture
design, development and verification. This is viewed by the member companies
as a "competitive advantage", so NO sharing in this area. I guess Ali,
you will have to learn the hard way (with your dollars) that there is
a big difference in process implementation. This will become even clearer
at .25um.

Make It So,
Yousef
