Re: <What does the article say about IBM x-tor characteristics for their .18?>

MDR says that Intel's and IBM's transistors are roughly equivalent although Intel's has higher drive and higher capacitance so it is not a 1 to 1 comparison.

Process Boy,

Re: "I don't believe AMD's Al process will be in the same ballpark for transistor
drive current ..."

I agree ... It is pretty clear from AMD's use of "jacked up" voltages that
their GOX is thicker. This leads to "inferior" devices. <ggg> The other
impressive part of the Intel .18um process that was presented by M. Bohr
at IEDM was the demonstrated speed of their SRAM process development
vehicle ... I believe at 900mhz.

Make It So,
Yousef
