Buckwheat - Re: "I thought that everything 333 Mhz and above was built on the .25 micron process???" You are right. That article - or the report from Maxwell - is incorrect. A 0.35 micron Pentium II is 203 sq.mm. Although it can be clocked at 450 MHz - with appropriate cooling - I think the power dissipation would EXCEED 45 watts. The 450 MHz Deschutes - the 0.25 micron part - dissipates only 18.5 watts at 450 MHz. It has a die size of 131 sq. mm. (Currently). The SRAMS at 450 MHz, however, dissipate about 4.5 watts. This part is only a 0.35 micron device - currently. Paul
