wbmw, quick question for you or anyone else who knows. Am I to assume that the difference between FD and PD is in the wafer manufacturing or are there other changes that have to be made to produce cpus for those two different kinds of SOI? Basically, what I am getting at is that if Intel is correct, what's to prevent everyone else from switching wafers to FD wafers when they become available.

p.s. Who manufactures FD wafers?

It looks very promising for Intel's process roadmap. Also note that the transistors tested had 50nm gates, which is close to where they want them for the .09u node.

Wow... that's a nice article... where'd you find it!?!??? Looks very promising. Here's hoping 300mm thin SOI wafers appear quickly on the horizon...

re , Intel claims that NMOS DST transistors are >20% faster than PD SOI transistors

does that mean Intel can blow the socks off of AMD and IBM
(power 4) together? Could you elaborate this towards the Intel advantage. Thanks
