90nm looks like it's going to sort out the men from the boys.
At least that's definitely like Bernard Meyerson wants it to be perceived. For me it rather sounds like he actually intends to leverage IBMs bragging rights somewhat for the launch of 90nm-G5 - which is very understandable, IBM still has a foundry to fill. Basically, 90nm challenges are known for long, and the pattern of increasing challenges from node to node is not exactly new either.
Thats all fine with me - it should help for a better perception that (PD)SoI is still very helpful in the 90nm node.
Which imo will be a way longer node than most believe today; from current viewpoint, 65nm is beyond any horizon.
(Let alone 65nm volumes next year ;-))
