AMD is touting its work on SOI tech at the 2003 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) taking place in Washington, DC. They say that their new, multi-gate SOI transistors will be able to bring the company into and beyond the 45nm process generation.

"AMD’s new transistor design uses three gates, instead of one as in today’s transistors, and incorporates several innovations that allow for continued transistor gate scaling down to 20 nm and below, while providing increased speed and decreased electrical leakage."
