tgptndr, Re: 55M For Northwood VS 100M for Hammer. That's why I asked the question about sandwitching the transistors in the 9 levels of metal vs the 6 of Northwood. It's not just that it's double the transistor count, the die size is also smaller. Clawhammer is supposed to be 104 mm^2, while NW is 146 mm^2. So the difference may be to great to account for by process differences Intel has not used local interconnect as recently as their .18u Al process. Doe anybody know about Intel's .13u copper process? How many layers of metal, does it support local interconnect? Joe
