Intel releases the First 0.09-micron chip
This article is short, so I'll post the whole thing here:

Quote:
ntel has announced the first working SRAM (static memory) chips made with new 0.09 technology (not Pentium 4 with Prescott core yet, it will be demonstrated later). This remarkable event took place at Fab D1C factory in Hillsborough (Oregon).

The chips have a 52 Mbit volume, consist of 330 million (!) transistors with a square of only 109 mm2, and are made of 12-inch plates on lithographic equipment with the wavelength of 248 nm (old equipment) and 193 nm (new equipment). I will remind, that the serial production of the chips (including Pentium 4 CPUs) with 0.09-micron technology use is scheduled by Intel for year 2003.

Intel Demonstrates Prescott's 0.09-micron L2 Cache

Its the same manouver as is being pulled time after time with graphics cards. Whats around the corner is always more impressive. Can't wait to see what it can do but I think the Hammer on 0.13 may be impressive enough to get a lot of sales before the 0.09 P4 Prescott comes out...

The Hammer will definitely be impressive... Have a look at this:

Thanks to wlaote for digging up this article (German) discussing some details on ClawHammer from AMD's Jan Gütter. From the report, ClawHammer is apparently 20 to 25 percent faster than the current Athlon XP at the same clockrate in 32-bit applications. Applications compiled for x86-64 running in 64-bit mode exhibit an additional 15 percent performance increase, as has been reported previously.
Interesting eh?
