PB,

As I had explained to Yousef, there is no quantum leap in process technologies. Gates are routinely shrunk to get performance. While that is done, it lays the path for the next process shrink. One can not go from 0.22um to 0.13um in a flash. It takes many small steps. Remember that 0.18um is still DUV. Wait and see when 193 is massively used. You may be looking at under 100nm gate soon.

Process Boy,

Re: "I do good work, don't I? ;-)"

Yes, you do very good work ... I wonder now ... Where would you have
possibly seen smaller than 100nm physical gate lengths ?? <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef

By the chance, have you seen a crossection of the
recent K6 cores?
