<<McMannic - Re: " I suspect that NSMs .18u process would be about the same as AMD at .22u or Intel at .25u so what's the big deal? "

Cost, Jimbo, COST !>>

Paul, please get the facts correct next time. A .18u fab is more expensive to build than one of a larger process. The chips, however, are smaller, faster and cheaper than comparable chips fabbed with a larger process.

If you have material that contradicts this, then I'd love to see it.

LOW LOW LOW ... HIGH HIGH HIGH !

Calm down, Paul. You sound upset, like you have a truckload of NSM shares to worry about.

Anyway, isn't the die size of NSM PR.18u be comparable to Intel's, even if the performance isn't?
