Fingolfen, Re: "December 2000: 30nm transistor, 1.2THz at 0.85V June 2001: 20nm transistor, 1.45THz at 0.75V November 2001: 15nm transistor on depleted SOI, 2.63THz at 0.8V." It's interesting that you print all these together, because I had failed to notice the differences in voltage. It's interesting that Intel can create 20nm transistors at 0.75V, but they need 0.8V for their 15nm transistors. Of course, being 7-8 years away gives them a lot of room for improvement. Maybe scaling down the voltage will help the transistors in multiple ways. Of course, just thinking about running a CPU at less than a volt at full speed blows my mind. These are going to be running at 10GHz or more - at less than a volt! Wow. wbmw

Great info. in the threads. thanks, from a non-engineering type. I just took some money off the table from my trading account, long term, of course, I'm bullish. The attitude I get from large companies as well as individuals is that in uncertain times, people stick with the sure thing(INTC), versus emerging technologies(AMD) for there needs. I for one will be upgrading several computers in 1 to 3 months and will be sticking with INTC. Market saturation of INTC makes it a safe buy for me... Fred
