Re: As far as Intel is concerned, it would not have been to its advantage to do so [copper]... That makes sense, I remember an eetimes article from about 6 months ago that said "some companies" had trouble with their prototype copper processes filling to the bottom of the etches - might that have been Intel's deep trench process? But that same process, while not being suitable for copper, may give some of the benefits of copper by getting equivalent current carrying capacity at small feature sizes due the deeper cross section of the feature. So Copper might be a big benefit to AMD at .18, but less of a benefit to Intel at the same feature size (that's just ignorant pure speculation on my part - if it's nonsense, please post that fact so that no one is misled) Re: Intel will have a .13 Cu process in production before AMD will... HUH? Dan
