Re: It was my understanding that the notch was always a part of the process A very big deal was made out of notched gates and what they made possible for Intel on .18. I posted a link to an article discussing that it was different from their existing, well established, .18 process. I also posted a link that showed the clear progression of Intel gate sizes and process generations - and the recent ".18" includes a halfway move to .13. In a nutshell, P856 1997 0.25 0.20 micron Pentium II P858 1999 0.18 0.13 micron Pentium III / 4 notched 2000 0.18 0.10 P860 2001 0.13 0.07 micron Tualatin / Northwood Intel's move to 0.10 "notched" gates used up much of the move from .18 to .13. From the .25 generation to the .18 generation took gates from .20 to .10, while moving from the .18 generation to the .13 generation will only take gates from .10 to .07 - a 30% decrease instead of a 50% decrease.
