<The trick is to do thinner.>

You are corrent thinner is tougher to do. Lower voltage for a given
speed is tougher to do. Intel has a better process. These are good answer to the questions that weren't asked.

What was asked can Intel run higher voltages on their current process to go higher speed. My answer was that they possibly could, but perhaps could not due to the factors I covered.

Relax a little Elmer. I hope Intel soars tommorrow on good announced this afternoon. I want the Intel share price back up to the 70's where it used to be.

AMD has only one fab cannot seriously threaten Intel. They can improve their position and their stock price a lot if they can ship a few more higher speed chips next quarter than they did last quarter.
