Zeev: I think the point they were trying to get across is that "The attractiveness of silicon-28 is that while it has improved properties over standard silicon, it can be used without any changes in existing semiconductor manufacturing processes." It is the similar argument we get from PC133/DDR crowd regarding cost effectiveness of RDRAM. Correct me if I am wrong, electrons travel faster at cooler temperatures, so if Silicon-28 can be cooled to a greater degree with the same level of air flow than naturally occuring silicon, in theory that should allow microprocessors to run faster speeds on Silicon-28. I assume companies like Aavid Thermal Tech. can cover the requirements of removing any heat originating from the surface of the chip. jd
