SCumbria - <What does the age of the core have to do with it? His remarks indicate that PIII would run faster if it had copper.>

Because SCUMBRIA, he also said:

""There is no performance compromise for using proven Aluminum (sic) interconnect".

He also talks about it "being easier". I'm assuming "it" is the design process. I guarantee you Cu on Coppermine and P858 would not have been easier for Intel from a manufacturing standpoint, for a multitude of reasons.

I knew I'd hear from you on this one.

Mr. Green is a designer. That's cool. I like designers. But I bet if you talked to a PROCESS person from Intel, about how much benefit Cu is at .18, you'd get a very succinct answer.
