Re: More IBM Cu hype...

Any advantage due to copper in MCMs may lie more in the reduction in heat dissipation than any speed increase. Remember, they used to have to water cool those things.

(I know, the change to cmos from ECL is the original reason, but keeping things that way isn't easy)

Performance of this 390 iteration was a major upside surprise.
