Re: "I presume that you are at IEDM. You have probably reviewed the papers and presentations. Any interesting process news particularly as it relates to the new Intel notched gate process. When do you think it will be in manufacturing ? Will be interested in your comments." Nope - didn't make it to IEDM. A bunch of my buddies are there though so I'll be able to let you know what the discussion was on the Intel paper. I did get an INITIAL peek at a 733MHz Coppermine. The notched process is in manufacturing NOW. Also, based on physical poly measurements and some assumptions of Fmax, published drive currents, and gate capacitance, I now (my opinion only) think Coppermine will indeed reach 1GHz as a shippable part (with appropriate guard band). So, you were probably right all along. THE WATSONYOUTH
