Ok, I'll bite. Why is the integrated Northbridge (ODMC) not expected to scale? Is it a function of signal & power to go off chip? -Magrathea Sure has been a dark morning for tech, today. Is it just people taking profits once the slide started?

Hans Keep in mind that some parts like the integrated "Northbridge" functions do not scale at all,... As a suggestion, adding "at this point in time" would prevent from a possible misunderstanding. I don't think you wanted to insinuate the parts are not shrinkable at all? However, great to see you posting here. I appreciate your work since many years. K. Edit: While we are at it: Are your able to figure out additional rendundancy in the 65nm-layout you have seen vs. 90nm, in particular in cacheland? TIA
