At CeBit show that is currently on in Hanover, Germany, AMD for the first time demonstrated their quad-core processors with K10 micro-architecture manufactured with 45nm process. The processors were produced in Dresden, Germany, in AMD’s Fab 36 300mm manufacturing facility, using an advanced 45nm process co-developed with IBM. The first 45nm chips demonstrated by AMD include the “Shanghai” product for server and “Deneb” for desktop platforms.

However, the initial 45 nm CPU generation will not use high-k dielectric metal gate technology. AMD believes that it can be “competitive” without high-k at this time, but high-k is an option to be introduced at a later stage of 45 nm production.

If this is how AMD is getting their 45nm products out the door on time, then okay. But they need this if they want a prayer of staying toe to toe with Intel...
