Yousef, <...This leads to lower operating frequencies. Ali, please do not try to discuss process parameters ..> I am not going to discuss process parameters, I have no idea about the process and its parameters. But I know the result. I told you many times that your general rant about drive currents and gate lengthes is largely irrelevant because the gate geometry can be locally optimized when necessary, and without knowledge of design it is a nonsense to derive the top operating frequency of the device from simple gate switching characteristics. You still did not get it, Ph.D-boy. That really makes YOU look silly. Anyway, today the HP is marching ahead with the AMD "inferior technology", and I think it is not too long until the K6-3 will show up and shave up Intel a bit more. Stay tuned...
