I said that 65nm will feature huge power savings per transistor because quad core Opteron will have more than twice the amount of transistors compared to current dual cores will fit in more or less the same power envellope. Hence power / transistor will need to go down by roughly a factor two. Currently we only know that third generation strain (SiGe) will bring ~15% decrease in power. That by itself won't be enough. So AMD will probably make use of a different design and more low power transistors in addition to the process enhancements. EDIT: Just saw some other posts that make this one about obsolete by now. Well... Regards, Rink
