Has AMD started using High-K

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

Has AMD started to use the High-K metal gate in their chips yet?

I think that's Intel's process tech. if they are they will need to pay intel a fee for using it.

They obviously won't use the same proprietary "High-K" process as Intel, but they've been working on high K gates for a while. IIRC it's supposed to be implemented in 32nm.

I think SOI is supposed to go a long way to keep leakage current in check, which is probably why AMD hasn't been in any big hurry to implement high K dielectrics.
