Because we think about Poet daily, at times it is difficult to comprehend why/how the rest of the world has next to no idea about Poet and its capabilities.

Here is a good example of Poet falling under the Radar.....

from the article

....As I said in my earlier blog, there are actually 4 different processes that make up the 22FDX process family although it is very modular. Each process has a couple of extra masks but it is almost the same basic process.

.....Why did they do this? After all, GlobalFoundries already has 14nm FinFET (licensed from Samsung). The business driver is that volume and growth are both higher at the low end. Yes, the most advanced application processors for mobile need FinFET but the price is too high for the mainstream. Think of a cheap application processor with battery life of a week for emerging markets.

So what are the key features:

• operation as low as 0.4V. It is the only process in the world that can do this, including any that are known to be in development
• integrated RF. The insulating substrate makes this a lot easier
• body bias allowing for tradeoffs between power and performance under software control
• up to 70% lower power than 28HKMG
• performance up to 70% faster than 28HKMG (with FBB at 1.5V, can actually go to 1.8V) although not at the same time as the lowest power
• 50% fewer immersion layers than FinFET (hence the significantly manufacturing cost and lower mask cost)
• 20% smaller die than 28 planar

hmmmmm
