Maxwell - Re: "Was that cryo cooled 0.25um or 0.18um process? No hype here."

The 804 MHz KATMAI, built on a 0.25 micron process, was demonstrated a few weeks ago and it had external cooling.

You will recall your hyena laughs a year ago when Intel demonstrated a 400+ MHz KLAMATH running with external cooling and built on a 0.35 micron process.

You will also recall that Intel is shipping, and Compaq, Dell, IBM and everyone else, 450 MHz Pentium II Deschutes WITH STANDARD COOLING, built on a 0.25 micron process.

Even a zealot like you should get the picture - that this years' Intel demo will be next years' production device.

Re: "Was that cryo cooled 0.25um or 0.18um process? "

It was chilled .25u. I don't know how cold it was, the article didn't say. It was public. Not by the swimming pool or on the pwivwret twhread. Thus, unlike your hype, Intels demo is verifiable. If I were a hypester like you, I would tell you about Intel's .18u PIIs, but unlike you, I keep some personal integrity.
