As temperature increases, leakage increases exponentially. TSMC [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co] projects that leakage consumes about 50% of the total power. We've asked our customers implementing designs on 90-nm silicon, and they are seeing that leakage consumes 25 to 40% of power. In moving to 65 nm, we expect 50 to 70% of total power will be lost through leakage. |

People will be encouraged by the upgrade of U.S.-Taiwan relations from Chen's high-level exposure and high-level access, |
President Chen has been constrained by both the opposition parties and factions in his own party. I would say President Chen has done a mediocre job on foreign policy, and an equally mediocre job on domestic policy. |
The number of missiles has been steadily increased. In another 2 to 3 years, Beijing will deploy another 500 to 600 missiles. So definitely Taiwan is under tremendous threat and pressure, |
There is also the personnel training and cost to consider, since it would take naval officers at least three years to master the operations before the Aegis-fitted warships can be enlisted, |
