Re: rather than being halved, the combined resistance and capacitance is only reduced to 70% of what it was before.

Consider that CPUs went from being mostly transistor limited to being mostly wire limited during the 180 to 130nm transition.


OK, thanks. I'm still skeptical that 65 nm will immediately yield marked performance/power gains. Even wire delay at 70% seems optimistic.
