It doesn't seem like Intel is "rolling out" its own Silicon-Germanium-Carbon process technology. They have the money, the fabs, the people, but rather they buy into this German outfit. Seems to go against your theory. Or maybe your theory doesn't apply to Intel?? I was referring to their core logic fabrication process. Looking at that article, that appears to be a niche technology for a communications chip. If you can show me examples where Intel has bought significant parts of a core logic process and incorporated it into their microprocessor manufacturing, then you have a case. AMD has done that with both their entire back end for 0.18 micron (from Moto)... Intel has developed it's own copper back end... Now AMD is buying SOI from IBM. Intel says they've evaluated it at current dimensions (which by implication means they are capable of fabricating it), and have found no performance advantage.
