That's nice for them, but how is this news related to Amiga computers?
I would rather read Amiga related news here.

Kind regards,

Dennis

Well Denis, it got posted so the moderator thinks it was important/related. But I guess you'd rather not see IBM making PPC's using 65nm tech....

It's called progress, what Intel invents is just as important to us as if IBM invented it.

This is the next milestone beyond 90nm, Intel and IBM/AMD have been working on it since before 90nm was fully functional and IBM is allready talking up 45nm

Also note the part about "leakage". Shrinking is one thing, but also increasing transistor performance is (imo) somethinge else.

Well, really, that's not so difficult... My dad ain't big

Perhaps I was a bit agressive.

I didn't say it wasn't important, I just don't understand how an anouncement by Intel affects the Amiga 'community'.

I don't agree with you. What IBM invents could end up in an AmigaOne someday. What Intel invents can only affect the Amiga in an indirect way, as Intel stuff is not used any Amiga (AFAIK). (I do have some zorro boards with AMD chips.)

Kind regards,

Dennis

Intel made a big step forward in chip processing, it's not about Intel, it's about technology. If it was IBM who was the first to get 65nm chips then it counts as news ?

Back in the good old days we read about Atari news. By your reasoning what Atari did wouldn't affect us as well, as it would never be used in our Amigas.

Intel is a big player in this market, what Intel does surely is important to IBM/Motorola as well even if they don't make x86 chips, but they sure will look at this and make use of it sooner or later. If not, they'll fall behind.

Besides, maybe some of the memory chips you use are made by intel. Then this news is related if you read it.

OK, I get it now. Sorry if I was a little slow to understand.

Kind regards

Dennis

Sorry if I was a little slow to understand.

Hey, you're a cheesehead like me, you're forgiven

Intel invented PCI. Intel invented USB. (Neither of which is
affected by this announcement)

"fully functional"
Last I was aware, Intel, IBM, and AMD weren't 'quite' up to 100
percent yield on their 90nm processes. There don't seem to be many
3.6GHz P4s available even now, and 3.4s still are priced quite a bit
more than the 3.2GHz parts. (Let's not talk about the EEs)

I don't expect a whole lot of 65nm parts much before the end of 2005.

The fabs are fully functional in the sense that they are churning out chips for production use. No fab ever acheives 100% yields, impurities in silicon ensure that. I can't remember off the top of my head (And it's too alte to go and look it up) but I suspect most don't go above 60%, at least not consistantly.

One that relates to AMD/IBM 65 nm processes refer to http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20040813040951.html

Since AMD/IBM are partners i.e. one could guess the next IBM's PPC development. PPC970 and AMD64 seem to be running near parallel with each other.

One could include AC97, AGP, PCI-Express and X86 ISA**.
