Re: "You finally have it "right". This AMD technology IS inferior." Yousef, you're back. We missed you. I understand your Mom has finally ungrounded you from computer use. I hear AMD has cracked the 300 MHz barrier in your absence, something which you may want to look into. Please explain how if AMD's process technology is so inferior they will shortly be 50 Mhz ahead of Intel. Kevin

Yousef - Re: "Did you see the Leff of .16um ?? ... Intel is below this on their .25um process, right NOW" You're being a bit too black-and-white here Yousef. Smaller Leff in itself is not enough to say whether one process is better than another. It is one output parameter from your drain engineering. TSMC (the kings of manufacturability and stable processes) recently said that they purposely sited their Leff larger than Intel's to minimise leakage. Regards, Shane
