Yousef,

Thanks for pointing out how LSI hypes their process, but I don't think there is any ASIC house that quotes their actual drawn channel lengths, they always quote their lef's. It's earier to fool those who don't know the business, like the guy who posted the link.

Yousef, re <LSI 0.18um ASIC process>
What could I expect from your "analysis"?

You did your "analysis" for AMD process and got it exactly backwards.

Now you are trashing the LSI process by mentioning only 2.5V (high-speed-optimized option) and "forgetting" to see the 1.8 option of the same process.

You are suspicious about SRAM cell size but do not see their capability to make 64,000,000 transistors on a single chip.

Is this an analysis? You failed to make it so. As usual.

It is easy to fool people who don't know the busines.
As some guy who cheerfully agreed with your "analysis"
and rushed to post his reply.
