On Sunday, two short courses are scheduled titled "45nm CMOS Technology" and "Devices for Next-Generation Digital Consumer Circuits and Systems".
AMD will introduce the technology into its most advanced manufacturing process in its Athlon 64 processors in the first quarter next year. The technology will also appear in the production of its two-chips-in-one, or dual-core, products to be released in mid-2005. IBM will include the strained silicon advance in its Power-based server processors in the first quarter of the year.
