Intel Corp (INTC)

Spokeshave -

I find it hard to believe that among all of the self-proclaimed industry experts on this board, nobody knows anything about strained silicon.

It is kind of surprising. What happened to Yousef?

Personally, I see it as Intel being able to do it so they do. That's much different from AMD who HAS to do SOI. What makes you think SS is comparable high risk? When Intel says they are going to transition to a new process technology I just accept that they will do it. When AMD says they are doing something very high risk I say I'll believe it when I see it.

I think you're exaggerating the risk of strained silicon.
