DARBES,

But IBM has the ATHLON and dibbs on the 0.18 ATHLON with "real" copper interconnects while delL will have cuoNTIME
when it comes out.


I have seen Process Boy's posts, as recently as last night, and many other times from Intel people that their considered opinion was that copper was not necessary for top performance at 0.18. They announced quite a while ago that copper would come in first at 0.13, when it does make a difference:

The benefits of Cu at .18 have been over hyped, IMHO. Al plainly still works at .18...

Why do you deny the wisdom of Intel's opinion in areas (process and manufacturing engineering) where they clearly have been superior to AMD forever? Da Nile?
