Re: "SOI is completely ignored by INTC and Intel will not use SOI in anywhere in the nearby future..." How do you know this to be true? EP

hans, re:soi You may well see SOI athlons next year!!! I believe that Samsung is working on SOI Alpha's as we speak and parts may even ship this year or early next. As far as intel ignoring SOI - not true. I think almost all semi companies are looking at it, and you can bet Intel are too. regards, Kash

Hans - <re: SOI is ignored at Intel> This premise is false. Mark Bohr even commented publicly around the time frame when IBM made its SOI announcement that Intel had looked at it, and would probably continue to look at it. Intel would be silly not to be looking at advanced process techniques. However, if Intel's bulk Si processes happen to outperform SOI processes, or the cost / performance trade off is dubious, well, I'm sure you get the picture. PB
