The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) radiation hardened silicon vertex detector (SVX{prime}) is described. The new detector has several improvements over its predecessor such as better signal to noise and higher efficiency. It`s expected to have a radiation tolerance in excess of 1 Mrad. It has been taking data for several months and some preliminary results are shown.
