<Sync__> wee she's a runner
<Sync__> even after 12 years of service
<Sync__> but the bearings have taken a beating
<berndj> what's a ballpark estimate for how fast i could clock a chip that has 130nm lambda?

<azonenberg> berndj: Depends totally on the fab process and how complex the stuff you were doing on it was
<azonenberg> For scale, virtex-II pro is 150nm and 130nm (they did a die shrink midway through)
<azonenberg> I'm not sure how fast general logic was able to get, but they got 3.125 Gbps on the SERDES
<Sync__> hmm 150nm to 130nm is not a huge technology step
<Sync__> but well, I guess they changed fabs
<Sync__> now to the lathe, I hope my plans work :D
<Sync__> looks like it will work
<Sync__> just finished boring and surfacing the primary surfaces, now the oring glands and I can try if it will fit
<Sync__> (just some work on my sputtering setup)
<azonenberg> oh nice
<Sync__> I guess I'll go to the basement and take a picture
<Sync__> unfortunately no more lathe action tonight :/

<Sync__> wat.
<Sync__> was I drunk when I measured the ID of the glass tube I'm going to use
<Sync__> missed the dimension by 1mm
