IBM said that High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) has been integrated into the 32 nm production process at its 300 mm semiconductor fabrication facility in East Fishkill, New York. With first silicon on hand, the company and its partners Chartered, Freescale, Infineon, Samsung, STMicroelectronics and Toshiba ...
No AMD ??
Odd.
Note the ref to SOI at the end but this is nevertheless not a good sign for the little battler.
Intel already have this in their 45nm process ...
I would have thought AMD would have been part of this partnership.
So what gives?

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
"Will you people please just stop drinking the AMD kool aid. This is just getting ridiculous". (someguy7).
Whats gives...... AMD's name may be on that list of people but they may not do anything when it comes to the research and development. Especially in their current condidtion where its more important to get sales so they let the other companies do the work and then pay what they need to use it.
This is especially true since IBM usually works on a lot of technologies that AMD uses.
This doesn't mean AMD wont have it but it almost seems like they will have to wait till 32nm till they can say they have HKMG instead of a second generation 45nm Phenom.
Yes, that leech amd. Needs to take out a loan for r&d. Maybe at crazy eddie's financial institutions. Good credit? Bad credit? No credit? You're pre-approved!
