POET Response to: “Intel statement that Moore’s Law is not dead based on the fact that Intel will be shipping 14nm Broadwell Systems by the end of 2013 providing a 30 per cent improvement in power consumption over today’s comparable 22nm “Haswell” chips”

That's Intels statement ......saying they will be better then "Haswell chips" and Moore's is not dead......This in itself sounds like a responce to someone saying Moore's law is dead and a promo saying they are down to 14nm

“This announcement adds little to what is already known since over two years ago (5/5/11) Intel had released a technology roadmap showing a process P1272 at a lithography of 14nm reaching 1st production in 2013. In the same roadmap a subsequent process P1274 at a lithography of 10nm is projected to reach 1st production in 2015. Realistically, Moore’s law is not quite dead, but it is on life support.

So POET is saying Moore's law with Si is almost dead. Nothing wrong with that as obviously it can't go to "0" nm and even 10nm ,possibly 7nm will bring some improvement but that's the end of the line for Silicon. Well that makes sense ..not hard to understand even for Intel.

Intel scientists have no plan beyond 10nm or possibly 7nm depending on which one you talk to. Similar conclusions has been reported recently by DARPA’s MTO director who makes the very realistic argument that making a transition to 10nm or less may well be determined by the business case, i.e. the rapidly increasing cost of production will not be recovered with sufficient margin. So it is clear that a major turning point in technological advancement is rapidly approaching.

Nothing said here except DARPA agrees and to get to 10nm and below the cost would be finanically prohibitive. Nothing wrong with that. Seems to be fact

POET believes this turning point is towards integrated optical and quantum effects. Therefore Intel’s next generation technology should include the integration of optical technology and in particular the integration of optical gain.

POET is suggesting Intel's next generation technology should be integeration of optical gain. Sounds reasonable and nothing offencive

Thus far Si photonics has shown itself to be incapable of this and so POET believes this is the “once in a generation” opportunity for a re-baseline from Si to GaAs as a mainstream technology.”

POET is saying Si is done. POET is saying the baseline now should be GaAs as mainstream technology and it is a once in a generation chance ...And I'm thinking POET is the one to lead the way

I find nothing offensive in this for Intel and POET is just stating it's case.

It should give us confidence that 'This is a once in a generation" opportunity

I can't see anything but good for POET in the statement.

Do you really think that if anyone should be offended then they will go out and find a better answer????
