TWY - Re: "If I'm wrong on this, I'll admit it on the thread but I am not ready to concede anything yet."

Paul - Re: "The media report says it's a 0.18 micron process. Do you have any source that says it is a 0.25 micron process?

I'm the source that says it's really a .25um GROUNDRULE process. (Moto would call it .22um by their definition). Right or wrong, I'm the source for most everything I say. But I did "cultivate" a source today who confirmed what I said. Seems the TRUE .18um GROUNDRULE process (they indeed have one) isn't due out for maybe 2-4 months. Apparently, Motorola (refering to the gate level only) is trying to dupe the naive into thinking this may be a .18um GROUNDRULE process by calling it a .18um micron (.15 micron L effective) copper HiPerMOS process. Does this happen to you often Paul??
