Paul,

Re: "Intel's 0.25 micron process uses a 40.8 Angstrom Thermally grown Silicon
Dioxide gate thickness."

Paul, I believe that this is their "electrical" gate oxide thickness and
not the physical thickness. Do you know if AMD's 35A oxide thickness is
physical or electrical ??

Make It So,
Yousef

Pal, <AMD's 0.25 micron process uses a 35 Angstrom Thermally grown Silicon Dioxide Gate thickness - 12% THINNER than Intel's.

Incidentally, does the article ever mention K6?
