BMW, he has a point. I do remember when Athlon was first introduced. It was on what some called a hybrid 0.25u/0.18u process, and this was what gave Athlon its higher clock speed relative to 0.25u Pentium III at the time. Now it's an 0.18u/0.13u hybrid that is helping Athlon keep up "quantispeed-wise" with Pentium 4. From his point of view, which is a valid one, AMD can continue onto an 0.13u/0.10u hybrid and keep up process-wise. I'm not so sure it'll work that way, but at least I see his point. Tenchusatsu

Don't be surprised if they can't reach 2.0GHz, though. How will we know? They'll call it a 2000 something or other, no matter what its speed. <g>
