Saturn, Re : "Based upon what Ten said, (and was confirmed at the IDF ),Jackson technology added 5-10% in transistor count. These transistors are scattered all over the chip, and it does not back sense to have different designs." Thanks. If they are scattered all over than that would be a problem to remove them to shrink the die without them. I dont deny the 'potential' improvement due to HT (however, I am not sure it will become that pervasive for many more years). But, my original point is that without HT, P4 die size is too big and .13 will only allow it to compete right now, without seing the real cost advantage that we are used to seeing during process transition. Normally we see >25% cost gain from the process transition and wafer size change each. This time both .13 and 300mm combined will give us that number. Maui.
