RE: <KZ, If so, then maybe the same is true for K7 and there will be less speed boost when it moves to full 0.18u. Less than Intel's negative speed boost on 0.18u? ;^) Scumbria> Perhaps Intel's transistors on 0.25 have also been improved over time to be close or equal to 0.18u transistors. Thus the underwhelming performance of Dixon Dumbshrink and a part of the reason that Coppermine is even less than underwhelming. Moving to 0.18u transistors on a 0.25u process gives a big speed boost but then leaves little or none for the full 0.18u process since the device widths shrink but not the lengths.
