No problem. However, I do agree with him officially now. It's not about transistor densities, it's about Interconnect density and die size not adding up to what should be expected for .18 design rules.

IMO,

PB, sorry, that was watsonyouth. Petz

The point I was trying to make was that if the Apple G4s are in .25um groundrules, then they are not in .18um groundrules. If I was an AMD long, I'd feel much more comfortable of bringing up .18um Copper BEOL in Dresden if MOTOROLA was all ready delivering it. They are not. Somehow, this point got lost in some sort of design scalability discussion. If I was misleading - sorry.
