Re: "You stated that Intel was in the lead in this new era: OF CHIP DESIGN COMPLEXITY. This was in the context of HP's new design that Intel will be manufacturing." I think you missed the point. Paul said that the HP product contained 140 MILLION transistors. The processor itself perhaps 4-5 million. The design is taking a back seat to the caching ability that a clean process offers. If Intel can stack 135 million transistors onto an HP design, they can tack 135 million onto an Intel design as well. Caching may swamp other design tweaks. L1 caches are much faster than L2 caches. Intel seems to be able to manufacture them. This may be an option available only to Intel. EP
