Jozef, Re: "While they have .18u process that does? ..." You really believe that NSM has a true .18um process ?? ... What has happened is (as I warned many, many months ago) that NSM has been an analog and ASIC vendor with NO experience in CPU IC processes. Thus, NSM took a conservative approach to the FET architecture (2.5V, .25um gate length ...) ... This just doesn't "cut it" for high speed CPU's. Now, NSM has shrunk the gate length and operating voltage so that their .18um process looks more like Intel's .25um process. I guarantee that NSM's .18um process will not match Intel's .18um process for CPU performance. Intel will be describing their .18um process at IEDM. --> Message 6379954 Make It So, Yousef
