Intel puts Tualatin chips on launch pad
News The change is expected to cut the chip's die size in half from the current 217 square millimetres. Tualatin shrinks the Pentium III's architecture from 0.18-micron geometry to 0.13-micron, reducing the size of the chip die, which increases...

AMD's Thoroughbred leaves the starting gate review
Reviews The company now has a clear advantage over Intel in this respect: the Pentium 4 has a much larger die size (146mm2), and is therefore more expensive to make. Moving the Athlon XP/2200+’s fabrication process to 0.13 microns allows AMD to shrink the...

AMD's dual-core plans keep heat on Intel
News As the die size shrinks, there are several possibilities," said Siegel. The die size is 192mm2. A dual-core 64-bit AMD processor is likely to be smaller than a dual-core Itanium: aside from the size reduction from the move to a 90nm production...

Intel's Coppermine Onslaught
News Smaller Die Size Intel's move down to 0.18-micron processor technology has been a long time coming. The decrease in die size when moving from 0.25-micron technology to 0.18-micron technology allows the integration of 256K Level 2 cache in the new...

Inside Intel's Prescott review
Reviews The current generation of Northwood Pentium 4s are fabricated in a 130nm process, giving the chips themselves a die size 140 square millimetres. Intel has already moved to larger wafers that, combined with the smaller die size, should produce...

AMD renews cheap chip attack
News Socket A is smaller and less costly to manufacture, and it is made possible by the integration of the Level 2 cache onto the chip die, which reduces the overall size of the chip. To keep the size of the die small, however, AMD will give Duron a 64K...

Intel, AMD neck and neck on chip costs
News AMD focused primarily on reducing the size of its chip, called the "die. Lower costs, higher volumes and other factory efficiency programs more than outweigh any disadvantage resulting from die size, Bryant said.

700MHz Shoot-Out, Intel comes out on top (Part 1)
News The actual die size of the new Coppermine is smaller than the old Pentium III (0.25 micron), despite having a far larger transistor count due to the onboard L2 cache. Current Athlons are still manufactured with a 0.25 micron process, which means...

Next Itanium to run at 1.5GHz, says Intel
News But because it's a server product, that kind of die size is acceptable. The 374 square millimetre "die" size is a bit smaller than the 421 square millimetre size of Itanium 2, but still is large and therefore pricey.
