Zoran - <I don't want to be a part of acrimonious insult slinging, a.k.a. AMD stocktalk. I just want to argue from the point of theory of manufacturability of semiconductor technologies. > No problem. I don't find any acrimony in your posts. <I feel deeply that Intel's approach of using notched gates is less manufacturable than conventional gates. And if you want to take advantage of notched gates (obviously there are advantages) there are more manufacturable ways to do it than Intel chose.> Understood. However, if Intel demonstrates "manufacturability", regardless of the theoreticals, than a good business decision was made. <I reviewed the IEDM papers and know what you are hinting at, although my primary interest are quantum devices.> Can you expand on your interest in quantum devices? Quantum device's day must surely be coming, although I am unclear as to when exactly. PB
