Art Bechhoefer write about a Barron's article:
The lead (cover) article discusses whether this is the right time to get back into tech stocks and concludes it may still be a little too early.

Actually this is good news. Isn't the evidence that we have not reached the bottom until the last bull goes bear?

TO the moon,

Intel to deploy SiGe at the 90-nm node

SAN JOSE -- Intel Corp. here today disclosed more details about its 90-nm (0.09-micron) process, including plans to deploy silicon germanium (SiGe) in the mix.

Intel plans to deploy a SiGe process in a communication-based version of its 90-nm technology, said Pat Gelsinger, vice president and chief technology officer for the company, during a keynote address at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) today.

“As part of our 90-nm platform, we will include silicon germanium,” Gelsinger said. The Intel CTO did not elaborate on its SiGe technology, however.

Last March, Intel originally announced its 90-nm process, which will be exclusively made in its 300-mm fabs. Intel's first 90-nm product will be a high-speed Pentium 4-based processor comprising 330 million transistors and code-named Prescott. Prescott is due out in the second half of 2003, according to Intel.

Intel spoke of its 90-nm process in March when the Santa Clara-based company announced fully functional, 90-nm SRAM chips with six-transistor memory cells. The 52-megabit SRAM test chips are being used as a prototyping vehicle for Intel's 90-nm process technology, dubbed P1262.

Then, last month, Intel claimed it will be the first chip maker to utilize strained silicon at the 90-nm node, thereby beating IBM Corp. and others to the punch.

Today, Intel said it has added SiGE to its 90-nm mix. And it also disclosed that it is using a 40-gigabit-per-second SerDes device and a wideband CDMA chip as the test vehicles for its 90-nm communications process.
