An interesting article, Rich. Anyone interested in IBM's version of the story should visit: chips.ibm.com Excerpted from "IBM Delivers World's First Copper Chips": Today's announcement illustrates the advantages IBM's copper technology can bring to customers. The PowerPC 750 was created as a standard aluminum design operating at up to 300 MHz. By applying IBM's copper manufacturing process to what is essentially the same chip, the company can now produce semiconductors featuring speeds of at least 400MHz--a 33 percent performance improvement for the same chip. Thirty three percent is nothing to sneeze at, and SOI technology should bring further improvements. If the performance is there, then is the Lammers article a smokescreen? HerbVic
