Milo, Re: "Why don't you read page 1 and 2...The comparision is already done and much more accurate." Actually, no, Milo. That's where you're wrong. You see, AMD has a consistent habit of using rigged competitive comparisons with their products (but, to be fair, so do most companies). In this case, they are comparing MirrorBit against Intel's 2nd generation .25u StrataFlash, when Intel's 3rd generation .18u StrataFlash has been available since last September. They are also comparing typical values, while I have shown AMD's "worst-case" specs to be far worse than Intel's. Look at the press release that I linked to, and you'll even see the following: "Synchronous Intel StrataFlash memory uses three volts for the core device, and is available in either 3- or 1.8-volt I/O versions." The press release is dated Sept. 26, 2001. I found it easily. Maybe some day you'll figure out why AMD couldn't. wbmw P.S. Also, your comparison of guaranteed temperature ranges is silly. Very few applications require a flash device that can with withstand temperatures above 185F degrees.
