Ali,

Re: K7 process link

Thanks very much for the link.

The same web-site also contains a slide on the intel 0.18 micron SRAM.

Voltage: AMD 1.6V Intc 1.5V
Tox: AMD 350 Intc 300
L: AMD 160nm Intc 140nm

Intels process should definately be 10% or so faster imho.

On the whole the design more than makes up for a pretty decent but not earthshattering process.

Regards,

Kash

You DUFUS.

Those specs are lifted right out of the AMD ISSCC paper.

I had that 4 months ago.

Ali,

Re: "Sorry, no Idsat data yet on this vastly inferior and outdated technology ..."

Ali ... You finally have it "right". This AMD technology IS inferior. <ggg>
Did you see the Leff of .16um ?? ... Intel is below this on their .25um
process, right NOW. And then there is the gate thickness ... this process
really makes me "sad". <ggg> What are those 12,000 (minus a few hundred)
employees doing over there at AMD ??

Make It So,
Yousef
