re:The process that AMD is
purchasing from Motorolo will not meet this level of performance until
1+ year after the Intel release.

yousef, thanks for your analysis. Looks like Intel will have a big competitive advantage in process technology. Maybe some AMD investors are wise enough to take the hint and diversify into Intel....

Re: "This all results in very high drive currents (Idsat) of 940ua/um NFET and 420ua/um PFET while off-currents are kept well under control."

Does this mean that sub threshold currents will be low enough to allow iddq testing on .18u processes?

Yousef - Thanks for your discussion on the new 0.18 micron process that Intel presented at the IEDM.

Truly impressive !
