PT, Re: < Intel has previously made meaningful reduction in die sizes within a process generation. For example, Northwoods dropped from 146mm^2 to 131mm^2 (per Sandpile.org). > 146 mm² (0.13 µm with 512 KB L2 Cache), then 131 mm² (Sandpile.org.) 217 mm² (0.18 µm with 256 KB L2 Cache) (per Sandpile.org) 131 mm² (0.13 µm with 256 KB L2 Cache) (per Sandpile.org) 217 / (.18 / .13 )^^2 = 113.1882716 Looks to me like the second time around INTC got their geometric shrink. My guess is that INTC is using VERY nominal sizing when reporting their process feature sizes. -tgp
