The Register here ___________________________________________ 09/18/03 - AMD Research well ahead of expectations AMD's unique design of new triple-gate transistors using next-generation silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and advanced metal gate technologies, delivers up to 50 percent better performance than any previously published multi-gate research. This surpasses 2009 requirements set by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), but because the design is also highly compatible with current manufacturing techniques, AMD views this technology as a leading candidate for volume production as early as 2007.
