65nm news from Intel

Oh, really? I did a quick Web search, but couldn't find when
the comparable announcement was made for 90 nm. I vaguely
remember mid-2001, which was a little matter of 3 years before
90 nm hit the streets in quantity.

If you read exactly what Intel said after they achieved 90nm
SRAM, they weren't anywhere as rosy as they are now with
65nm.

I need to correct what I said - it was 2 years. March 2002.

Actually, I remember them being every bit as optimistic. Anyway,
such claims are worth almost as much as the hot air that carries
them.

I shall not be holding my breath for 65 nm; you are welcome to
hold yours for it :-)

I am holding my breath! :-)

You have better lungs than I do :-)
