go buy this book then http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846 actually a lot of its available online but u'll have to look hard to find. im not going to violate the copyright by posting a link.

Quote: Originally posted by snoopy Picky, picky. I was replying to the original posting, which made this statement about resistance. Maybe its real meaning didn't get through to me, but on the surface it appears to be a misunderstanding of elec…

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar I never stated layout would effect performance all I stated is there were some sizable differences between the 90 nm processor and the 130 nm PPC970. What they are will become apparent after release. As f…

motorola should outsource fabrication to TSMC and UMC both companies have 9 layer 90nm processes. the extra layers should allow for a smaller die and decreased cost.

Quote: Originally posted by snoopy I found your post to be very instructive, especially about the L3 cache and PowerTune. However, this one sentence makes no sense to me, and I am not sure what you are trying to say? Are you confused about …

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar Actually the two chips have differences in designs. The 90 nm version has to deal with significant current leakage and as such adjusting layout and circuitry usage becomes necessary. layout obviously has t…

Quote: Originally posted by Jubelum Nr9 has a point... Intel is still winning the Mhz war... in raw numbers, but let's look at the roadmap for the 970. We might not be there yet in simple Mhz, but the G5 architecture is brilliant. Apple's 18 mont…

In other news, Intel has increased their Pentium 4 speed to 3.4GHz. They are expected to reach 4.0GHz next year.

this is stupid. its not the speed of electrons that are slowing things down. its the capacitances and inductances in the wiring. besides, most of the delay is in transistor operation anyways.

its always a good thing for us cuz more competition = better products. anyways, intel's 65 won't be out until at least after 2005, they dont even have good 90 nm

sex sells

well, those are test chips, not mass production. while i do expect intel to be the first producer of 65nm chips, it is interesting to note that the R&D budget of UMC is 250 million compared to intel's R&D budget of 4 billion. consideri…
