Elmer - Re: " I would think that 7-800Mhz is within the capability of the .18u process. Perhaps Paul or Yousef know better."

I believe Intel has let it be known that 667 MHz devices - Coppermine and/or Cascades - will be available by Q4 of this year. Both of these will be 0.18 micron products.

That should translate into faster, >700 MHz, parts by early 2000.

Elmer,

Re: "I would think that 7-800Mhz is within the capability of the .18u process.
Perhaps Paul or Yousef know better."

Yes Elmer ... 7-800mhz is well within reach of Intel's .18um process. Intel
presented a paper at IEDM that described an SRAM (yield test vehicle)
that ran at 900mhz. For comparison, the 4mb SRAM used for Intel's .25um
process ran at 350-400mhz. Thus I believe that Intel's .18um process will
go ABOVE 900mhz in the future.

Make It So,
Yousef
