To All: Listen to Intel founder Gorden Moore speak about shrinking IC size: developer.intel.com You'll need the RealPlayer media player plug in (available at the site free). Moore talks about: ---why smaller and smaller chip size "violates Murphy's Law"---the smaller things get, the faster they operate, the less power they use, the more efficient they are to manufacture, etc. etc.; ---Intel "soon to be moving to .25" photolithography; ---Why the industry has always rapidly retooled their fabs to stay ahead of the competition (happening now); ---how optical lithography will suffice through .18 micron lithogrpahy, which he considers the next generation. Moore shows an audio/visual display of .25 Pentium circuitry. Very interesting stuff. Happy streaming, PD
