An estimate is obtained on the Hausdorff and fractal dimensions of global attractors of semilinear partial differential equations with delay: ẋ(t) = Ax(t) + f(xt). The method employed is to associate such an equation with a nonlinear semigroup on a product space and then appeal to the upper estimate due to Constantin, Foias and Teman on topological dimensions of global attractors for general nonlinear dynamical systems.
