Steve, FYI, AMD's K5PR133 has a internal closk of 100Mhz verses Cyrix's 6x86 133+ at 110Mhz. This means the upcoming K5PR200 will probably has lower internal clock than Cyrix's 200+ at 150Mhz. Also no one in the world has the capability to manufacture IC at 0.18 microns, yet. Not even close. There are no equipments out there to support such. One of the constrain is photolithography. A 0.18 microns is smaller than DUV. There are companies out there that perfers to fool the dumb analysts. They are LSI and TI. They perfer to use the smaller term than it actually is. An anology is a pipe. It has 2 ways to measure-inner diameter and outer. TI and LSI use inner where there rest use outer. In summary, 0.18 micron TI is referring to is actually a 0.25 micron. A 0.25 micron polysilicon gate has only 0.18 micron of electrically useful real estate. Marc.
