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. First off, I think I've used the wrong term. I should have said "strained" silicon, and there have been so many discussions among the technicial publications over the last couple of days that even a blind man could find them with a simple search. Try this one for good technical content: Strained vs stressed........hmmmmmmmmmm. In the article I posted, it was mentioned only once in passing in someone's quote. You wouldn't be trying to flim flam a person who doesn't have a strong tech background? In any case, I look forward to hearing more about this new addition to the chip process and its impact on the industry. ted
