Elmer, >Re: Paul, I wish you'd post that paper on Intel's .18u process over here. Those specs are truly very impressive by the way. For those who think that folks like TSMC/UMC are already at 0.18 micron.Yes they are but with a printed gate length of 180nm. The Intel process is probably 30-40% faster than the new foundry processess. So folks like Rise and IDTI will be at a real disadvantage. I suspect Nationals 180nm process is similar to TSMC/UMC process. AMD on the other hand is optimizing for pure speed just like Intel. I see Intel and AMD pulling away in the pure performance camp. NSM should do well in the highly integrated low cost markets. Regards, Kash
