combjelly: there is a good chance that RC delays may dominate as the geometries shrink

Yes, but like I said, Intel have a really sweet aspect ratio on their wires. That should do something for the "R" ;-)

Comb,

Scumbria claims that some sample processes he has seen slow down as you go from 0.18->0.15->0.13

Actually, what I said was that you can't assume that moving to a smaller geometry will make a significant speed improvement. A lot of work has to go into transistor design before speed improvements may be realized.
