Hi All, Siemens and Motorola Celebrate Opening of Joint U.S. Semiconductor Plant; White Oak Semiconductor Achieves First Silicon in Record Time biz.yahoo.com White Oak Semiconductor represents the combined skills of the parent companies to establish a state-of-the-art 8-inch semiconductor plant and become a benchmark in semiconductor manufacturing. It has already broken records as the first wafer fabrication facility to go from concrete to having first tools installed in 11 months. Most recently, it achieved first silicon of 64-megabit (MBit) DRAMs (Dynamic Random Access Memory) in 0.25 micron technology -- believed to be the smallest in the world -- in a record time of three months. Illustrates the value of Siemens as a partner I'd say... had a look at the February issue of Byte 98 again where Digital's EV6-Architecture is described "although EV-6 doesn't define a separate backside bus for an L2 cache, [is one needed with ESDRAM?] designers are free to add one...- allowing more flexibility for different markets... ...EV-6's headroom should mean fewer stalls while the CPU refills its cache lines. Today, Alpha systems are relatively expensive because they require special motherboards and chipsets that aren't made in large volume. If AMD is successful there will be a lively commodity market for Slot A motherboards. Together with lower-priced Alpha CPUs...this could bring Alpha system prices down to the $1500 range. The Alpha would be a mass- market product, such as the x86"
