Yousef, <Intel's .25um process holds a 100mhz speed advantage> You must be VERY slow learner, if at all. Look, even your boss eventually realized that it is technically stupid to compare different designs by their top clocks (I guess you mean yourself a technical person): Message 5642843 "Raw Clock speeds ... are essential METRICS of a given process/design capability." And another confirmation: techstocks.com <Re: "Raw clock speeds are metrics of a given design." Thanks>. <customers pay for performance (Mhz), NOT for die size ..> Yes, customers pay for K6-2-300 that posts BETTER scores in business application benchmarks than P-II-300 or Celeron 300A, right: tomshardware.com And the 2-X smaller die size is still an advantage no matter what you say or how you want to make it so. Even with bigger volumes, it is very unlikely that Intel gets 50% discount on wafers and chemicals. And the labor in Austin cost a lot less than in other areas where Intel has its fabs. Now, tell us more about Idsat and Leff. I am eager to hear your groundless theoretical abstrusions... Make us.
