Quote from the review at Beyond3D: “As the specifications show, the configuration of R430 actually appears to be exactly the same as the higher cost R423 and R480 chips, however it saves cost on the process used. Whilst the R423 and R480 are based on the 130nm low-k process R430 uses the lower cost 110nm process, which is an optical shrink of TSMC's 130nm process. Using 110nm reduces cost in two ways as it both lacks a higher… Read More

From Samsung's press release: Samsung Electronics announced that it has developed the industry's first "CVD aluminum" process technology, the very latest 70-nanometer node DRAM process technology employing the Chemical Vapor Deposition or CVD method. The CVD aluminum process technology is one of the key interconection technologies in DRAM manufacturing process. It involves forming conducting films by turning metal organic… Read More

AMD expects commercial shipments of products made using the 90-nm process to begin in the third quarter, Thomas Sunderman, a director of manufacturing technology within AMD's corporate manufacturing group, said. The move saves about 40 percent of the die area compared with the established 130-nm process, and should have a similar impact on AMD's costs until the company introduces 300-mm wafer processing, which is expected in… Read More
