Elmer, Re: "How does this SRAM demonstrate 7 layers of Cu? That's what the paper claims." I'm no expert in SRAM design, but I assume that Intel is saying that their 52Mbit SRAM chip was made on a 7-layer Cu 90nm process. But it's quite possible that I misunderstood. Re: "It's exciting to see Intel hitting on all cylinders." I agree. Intel is moving with a purpose now. They put billions of dollars towards research and development, and now it's starting to pay off. The future can only get better. I'd like to see Intel pull away from the rest of the industry, as that would sure be a great way for the stock price to test its highs. wbmw

Elmer, It's exciting to see Intel hitting on all cylinders while the competition is belching smoke and leaking oil. And of course you saw Fyo's post on the other thread about Northwood scaling significantly better that Athlon XP. Message 17209774 Tony

Elmer - Re: "How does this SRAM demonstrate 7 layers of Cu? That's what the paper claims." That isn't obvious. However, what IS OBVIOUS is that 7 Copper layers at 0.09 Microns is ONE MORE than Intel uses on their 0.13 micron process. This extra copper layer will allow additional routing resources for the designers - and hopefully permit better compaction than with just 6 copper layers. In the words of dilbert, "this is a good news !!!" Paul
