I assume you're referring to the press release regarding Intel's 90nm process, right? If that's the case then you are incorrect in saying that there's nothing new compared to the March release. The fact that Intel will use stressed silicon is a new point and apparrently very significant. It appears that Intel is quite a ways ahead of everybody else, which is nothing new in itself but this is a new process feature that nobody else appears to be close to production with. This is ridiculous...........you are saying this news release was redone because of this significant new point that INTC is using "stressed silicon" in its new 90 nm processing. Personally, I doubt the use of "stressed silicon" is rocking the semi world to its foundations. But just in case, can you point out to me where they discuss in depth this remarkable new innovation............."stressed silicon". I have reread the article three times and can't find any mention of "stressed silicon". TIA. BTW are you a Rep.? ted
