Chuck, Re:"I would expect routing delays to drop substantially when the die size goes from 184 mm2 to 104 mm2 and I would also expect the clock skews to become tighter but I have no idea of what the percentage of clock goes into gates/routing/skew for this class of processors. May be Scumbria can comment." yeah the capacitance goes down, but resistance goes up. So RC's don't scale as well as they use to. But with copper the R comes down dramatically. Having said that the fact they are yielding the transistors at those speeds if fantastic news. regards, Kash
