Jimmy,

Re:

Youdef,
RE:"A 1.6v core voltage for the K7 would mean that AMD has, at
that point,
superior process technology to Intel (1.8v)""...
Isn't that a true statement?

Jim

The above was a truly Engelesque response.
Brought a smile to my face.

BTW, how low will we go down tomorrow after the Dell debacle.

Regards,

Kash

Jim,

Re: "Isn't that a true statement?"

No Jim, this is NOT a true statement ... We must also know what the FET
drive currents (Idsat's) are at 1.6V. The "trick" is to design the
FET so that there is high drive current at the lower voltage. This is
something that AMD has not yet "mastered" ... If the core voltage is 2.5V,
then it looks like AMD is just "jacking up" the voltage, again and again. <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef
