Speaking about meltdown: looks like the new Intel 0.13 process has some problems: excessive leakage... p.25 of Datasheet for P-III says, Table 7, ftp://download.intel.com/design/PentiumIII/datashts/24965702.pdf For 1.13GHz P-III we have: Icc Core - 19.4A Icc deep sleep = 10.2A Icc StopGrant = 14A!!! ============================= For older 0.18 process: Icc Core - 22.6A deep sleep - 6.6A Stop Grant - 6.9A ============================= This means that the new Intel transistors leak half of the total CPU power into nothing, leakage is 50%. I wonder how those transistors would fare on P4... If you compare this with AMD process results, amd.com. for 1800+ XP we have (p.31): Icc typical = 33.8 A Icc stop grant = 0.66A or the leakage is less than 2%. Where is Yousef when we need his expertise on quality transistor architecture? ;-) Elmer and Yousef must be proud of their efforts. Nice job guys. - Ali P.S. Paul, please do comment on the Idsat and leakage too. It is at least close to your background. I am waiting impatiently <g>...
