Deneb vs Agena..feel Free to "speculate"

[Aussie FX]

It seems that AMD have solved the leakage problems that have plagued 65nm. Leakage in Shanghai is 1/3 of Barcelona. :clap
It would be nice to see some FO4 numbers. IIRC Barcelona is low 23's and Power 6 is ~14 for comparison.
Hopefully this will translate to being mad o'cers.


The transistor drive current for AMD's 45-nm devices is much lower than that of the Intel HKMG transistors. But power consumption is quickly becoming a high priority for server chips. AMD's transistors exhibit very low channel leakage. Our transistor benchmarks indicates that leakage current is less than one-third of the value measured on AMD's 65-nm process. It's also significantly lower than the Intel 45-nm HKMG process. In fact the Ion/Ioff ratio for AMD's PFET is nearly 10 times better than that for the Intel PFET.
