Pravin <The cs44e7 sounds pretty much like a 0.18 micron process without the density> RDM <The process still has the capacitance of a .25 micron process. (And of course the die per wafer of .25).> Wiring capacitance will be the same. But gate capacitance must have decreased considerably (shorter channel length) My understanding is that power decreased 33% while freq increased from 450MHz to 500MHz. Also voltage was lowered from 2.4V to 2.2V Since power is proportional to CV^2 x freq, capacitance must have decreased for this to make sense. THE WATSONYOUTH
