Re: He concluded by saying SOI provides less than a half-generation performance gain and adds another 10 percent to the process cost for an extra mask step

Which would put AMD close to a half generation ahead of Intel 6 months from now - using 10% more expensive wafers to produce 40% smaller die.

It just gets better and better for AMD, doesn't it?

Thanks for the post!

Paul
the article is 2+ years old. At that time intel still insisted that copper benefits do not provide sufficient justification for copper process. Remind me if intel is still using al in their .13um process
