Re Cu at 0.18 micron: Going to a new technology too early reminds me of a company that was called Viatron. They went out of business in the late 60s while trying to make everything from processors to memory to printers and everything else out of CMOS. Just a note about what can happen when you go early for no other reason than trying to be a grandstand pleaser. Contratry to public monikers, Intel has NEVER been superior in process and manufacturing engineering. Public Monikers????????????????? Well, trying to get around that derailer...so who's superior in an apples to apples comparison, so we can really judge? IBM? Hard to tell...apples to pears. Motorolo? (TM Yousef)...apples to apricots. TI?...apples to oranges. I call all of these apples to something else because, e.g., Apple G-string chips claim higher performance at significantly lower MHz, so, how can we tell? Wisdom? You are sadly mistaken here, as usual on every technical matters. Ah, the ever-present insult. As predictable as death and taxes.
