Re: "Does a lower static leakage indicate a better-controlled process? Or is it more just an indication of a particular approach to making transistors? " It need not be indicative of a process out of control, it's a tradeoff made to increase transistor switching speed. Re: "Do you know if the Athlon's current draws are more due to the leakage or due to the sheer number of devices on the part?" What you originally asked about and what I have been referring to is leakage current which is static current, not dynamic current. EP
