Re: They have been using .13u transistors for some time now. As Ali Chen pointed out, it is unlikely that AMD is running .13 transistors, since Athlon XP, like .18 P4, is a 1.75v chip. .13 Pentiums run at 1.5v, and .13 Athlons will likely do the same.

RE:"Switch to a whole new process and get about 100-133 Mhz? You need to pay more attention Jimbo. AMD is already most of the way there. They have been using .13u transistors for some time now." Yes, I've heard that but think it's mainly FUD. The same was said when AMD went from .25 to .18 and they got 40%. RE:"Maybe they should just skip to .10u? Don't you think everybody would if they could" No. But by the time AMD gets to .13u, Intel could be cranking up .10u (or whatever). I remember that AMD ditched .35u midstream and went to .25u with the K6-2. Similar things could happen again. Jim
