KZNerd - < IDsat = 940 uA/um (N) and 420 for P is pretty amazing.> With Intel's approach, transistor drive currents rule. <I wonder if AMD will be in the same ballpark?> I don't believe AMD's Al process will be in the same ballpark for transistor drive current based on some physical data I've seen about their process. Also, I'm guessing that AMD hasn't been able to scale their gate oxide to the extreme that Intel has been able to. I haven't seen any data about the MOT process, but I would guess it is similar to IBM's .18 process for transistor characteristics. I don't have the MDR report with me. What does the article say about IBM x-tor characteristics for their .18? PB
