Maxwell, Re: "Please indulge us ..." I will follow up with a post on Intel's .18um process ... Meanwhile Maxwell, please give us more detail of AMD's .25um process. Have they continued to shrink their poly linewidth, how about Leff or gate thickness (electrically),what about metal dimensions (line/space) and stack material ?? TIA Make It So, Yousef

Maxwell, Re: "Please indulge us with Intel 0.18um process while we are awaiting for AMD Q3 earnings." You mean "losses", right Maxwell ... I will give you some details: Printed poly linewidth - .14um, poly space - .24um Operating Voltage - 1.3V FET drive currents - NFET ~620ua/um, PFET ~ 310ua/um # Metal layers - 6 ** Expected speed - Desktop CPU's starting at 600mhz going to 900mhz, laptops starting at 400mhz going to 600mhz. And guess what Maxwell ... This will be in volume production late in Q2 '99. I bet this will appear in one of your "nightmares" soon. <ggg> How does this compare to AMD's (or should I say Motorolo's) .18um process ?? Make It So, Yousef
