bmw I am not willing to search old references but Paul keeps track of those. Why is it that a constructive suggestion is so offensive to you? :-)) Regards -Albert

Beamer - Re: "albert why is it so typical with you that when confronted for proof, you try to weasel your way out?" What else would you expect a weasel to do? Paul

bmw re: why is it so typical with you that when confronted for proof, you try to weasel your way out? eetimes.com (thanks to Dave3 and aceshardware) looks pretty conclusive to me Regards -Albert But there are limits to how far Intel will go. The company still opposes the use of silicon-on-insulator technology as a way to eke out more performance. Bohr said SOI's advantage will erode with each new process technology spin. This strategy contrasts with that of IBM Microelectronics, which will introduce both a conventional bulk silicon process as well as a high-performance SOI-based process at the 0.13-micron generation. While SOI has some performance advantages, Bohr said there are still problems related to wafer quality and an assumed loss of transistor switching speeds because of variations in the charge of the process' "floating body." Meanwhile, junction capacitance, which is alleviated in SOI, is becoming less of a problem with each process technology generation, Bohr said.
