- rwmj 8y agoBecause it's 64 bit and significantly complex, probably far too large for the 180nm process.
- microcolonel 8y agoThe SHAKTI they taped out with Intel 22nm FinFET is AFAIK conservatively an order of magnitude less complex than the Pentium III, which was successfully manufactured on 250nm and 180nm.
