I don't know what the die size of the MX will be when it moves to a true 0.25æ process, but on the optical shrink of IBM's 0.33æ process it is currently at 150mmý. Cyrix's next Socket 7 part will have a die size of 65mmý and the next integrated chip will be 90mmý on one of IBM's 0.25 processes. cyrix.com cyrix.com Bob PS RE: the die sizes for 0.35 processes I don't know about IDT's 0.35 process, but IBM, Intel, and AMD's are not really 0.35. They are more like 0.33, 0.28, and 0.30 respectively(drawn gate lengths), so direct comparisons aren't really possible.

I just told my wife that Acer is going to produce $199 computer for China and the third world market. She asked if the price includes the monitor? No, it would use the TV instead of monitor. Her next question was "Then, we should buy one from Taiwan to use here.". <ggggggggggggg> We already have four systems and one server at home. This should be a good example that the affordability would create the market. As you could see, the things have been totally out of Intel's control. Intel is facing the deceasing market share and reducing margin quarter by quarter. With their second-class x86 technology, Intel's glory has passed before we all knew.
