Anybody know what's up with Gallium Arsenide these days? I know we're still getting plenty of performance out of silicon, but I'm just curious. Last time I read up on the stuff (about a year ago) Convex had come out with a GaAs computer. Knowing how things work their way down from the top, I wanted to know if there are any plans for GaAs uP's anytime soon. Anyone know what sort of transistor densities are on GaAs now? Wafer sizes? Yields? -Chuck --- ******************************************************************* Chuck Chung (919) 660-2539 (O) Duke University Dept. of Physics (919) 684-1517 (H) Durham, N.C. 27706 cchung@phy.duke.edu "If pro is the opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?" *******************************************************************
