I just got the Jan 25 issue of Microprocessor Report in the mail. Interesting article on Intel's 0.18micron process [ article not available on the Internet ].
Title- Intel raises the ante with with p858.

Interesting excerpts-
" Intel disclosed details of its next generation 0.18-micron p858 process; this month, tiny beads of perspiration have begun forming on the brow of Intel's x86 competitors."
" The process should enable Intel to maintain its preeminent position, even with only modest enhancements to its existing processor designs."

The article shows that Intel's process stacks up well against IBM's best process, but requires very little new equipment making it relatively cheap to manufacture.

This article confirms my assertion in post # 69272 that K-7 will be checkmated easily by Intel's new process. [In December Microprocessor Report was waxing euphoric about how K-7 was going to dethrone Intel ].
