I found this one most interesting.

The amount of time it took for each new process to reach maturity is shorter then the last.

Here is another slide where AMD vice-president Udo Nothelfer was showing 45nm wafer:

Buggi: Great find! I found especially interesting the following:

The slide from your first link at the 45 nm node that mentioned IBM's "HOT" technology. Wasn't that the basis for the IEDM Power paper for that smoking 5 GHz processor they presented?

Your second link includes a slide that provides a time sequence from Dual Stress Liner, to "enhanced strain, enhanced silicide", to "embedded SiGe", to "enhanced SiGe". Looking good...

The second link slide showing: "All AMD products, and at least three performance grades for each product, introduced simultaneously, ON ONE TOOL SET", is killer, and very similar to Seagate's strategy, in which everything from 1" CE drives to 3.5" enterprise drives are made with one set of gear.

Buggi, just noticed that these slides confirm embedded SiGe at 90nm, and enhanced SiGe at 65nm.

Slide showing transistor improvement and transition to 65nm: pcweb.mycom.co.jp
Slide showing transistor enhancing techniques (like SiGe): pcweb.mycom.co.jp
