Steve, Re: "Thanks for the answer. And now for the interesting part, what do you think AMD has done?" I think that AMD has continued to "tweak" their .25um process with poly gate linewidth shrinks. At a 2.1V -> 2.2V operating supply, AMD might be running .24um -> .22um at the poly level. I don't know whether this will get them to 400mhz ... my guess is it will, but there could be speed bin yield problems if the process "drifts" at all. We will know if AMD has implemented a "new revision FET", because I would expect the operating supply voltage to then be less than 2.0V. The bigger question is how does AMD get to 450mhz and 500mhz quickly?? Let's wait and see. Make It So, Yousef
