It's a simulation, they don't even have a prototype yet. Quote: "Simulation studies are a great start, and they show the CPU-design-level potential of back-side PDNs with BPR. But there is a long road ahead to bring these technologies to high-volume manufacturing. There are still significant materials and manufacturing challenges that need to be solved. "
- brennanpeterson 5y agoI doubt this is true. Mike Mayberry (Intel) softly announced buried power rail last year, as a 'within 5 years' tech. That suggests it has been prototyped, since from final tests to HVM is at least 2 years. Maybe not great. Within 10 means an idea with simulation. Within 5 means prototyped. Interesting means never. Or that, at least, is my decoder ring.
