Yousef - AMD's 0.25 micron process may be a 2.2 volt process, not a 2.1 volt process! Check out this abstract for the February ISSCC: (============================} 15.7 - A 0.25um x86 Microprocessor with a 100MHz Socket 7 Interface - 4:45 PM R. Khanna, A. Ben-Meir, L. DiGregorio, D. Draper, R. Krishna, R. Maley, A. Mehta, S.Oberman, L. Tsai, T. Williams Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA Performance increases up to 10% due to micro-architectural improvements in the K6 microprocessor family. Floating-point instructions enhance graphics performance. A 100MHz socket 7 bus is implemented. The 80mm2 die is in 0.25um 5-layer-metal CMOS with tungsten local interconnect, a standard 3.3V I/O interface, and a 2.2V internal supply. {==============================} This could be 49% higher power device than the Intel equivalent,all other things being equal (2.2^2/1.8^2).
