The specs have now been released and there is almost no difference in power consumption between .18 coppermine and .13 tualatin. That Intel has nothing better to produce with the early limited number of .13 wafer starts than PIIIs, including some as slow as 866MHZ, is striking. Either their new product lines are in complete disarray or their .13 transition is a failure. AMD's emergency effort to add SOI to their .13 process seemed to indicate that .13 on conventional wafers provides little or no benefit in terms of speed or power consumption. Intel's recent actions may be a confirmation. AMD lowered power consumption more from a re-layout of Athlon on an existing .18 CU process than Intel gained from a a re-layout and a move from .18 AL to .13 CU.
