Well I'm out of here... Have a weekend. I'm taking off next week but will await the Q2 call replay with great anticipatory angst. I am increasingly doubtful that either HP or SUN's SSD/server applications will involve F-RAM of any kind, in any way. With Mtron being the only maker I can find publicly commenting on such a design, I just find it hard to believe. Why would none of the major firms mention it... but Mtron's allowed to blab away? Makes no sense. Last SSD related post of the day: eetimes.com 0\|0

From L'Intel's Rattner at IDF: "Intel will embrace silicon-on-insulator (SOI) to isolate devices, rather than burying circuitry in bulk silicon. According to Rattner, SOI will enable Intel to build surface devices like *Fin-FETS and Tri-gates, that wrap 3-D gates around thin-film channels atop a SOI substrate. He said Intel would likely turn to SOI at the 22-nm node." You can read the whole article if you want, but I wouldn't bother. After the above info... the guy starts dribbling a bunch of 2525, StarWaresque, flim flam... along with some creative particalarization concerning... "catoms"... more likely "tomcats"... and some other paranormal delusions of a post BIG Rock* future that might have been: eetimes.com 0\|0
