Yousef, <The word I hear about the Copper process is NOT GOOD.>
You probably need to check your hearing in this case.

There is something funny for you, our "process expert",
some indirect evidences about how "inferior" is the
AMD process technology:

www4.tomshardware.com

"Athlon would not run at 500 or 550 MHz unless
I lowered the core voltage down to 1.45 V.
On the other side, I only had to raise the core
voltage from the default 1.6 V to 1.65 V and
Athlon worked beautifully at 700 and 750 MHz. "

"Both processors are produced in .25æ-technology
and so it's pretty impressive to see the
differences. Intel's Pentium III can barely
reach the 650 MHz at 2.1 V, while AMD's Athlon
runs just fine at up to 750 MHz at only 1.65 V."

Now try to make it so :)
