Hmmm. I dont know about your copper vs aluminum argument.. (I am sure JC or Dale Laroy being the technical guys on here can respond to that claim better then I if they so choose)

But methinks you're jumping the gun on the 1.13 Intel PIII being faster.. Johan has already hinted at Aces Hardware that once AMD's NDA expires on Aug 28, his benchmarks will show the Thunderbird 1.1 will beat the 1.13 in the majority of benchmarks.. thus handing the fastest CPU processor title back to AMD.

Besides.. as we all know.. unless Intel can sufficiently make enough 1.13 to sell.. the argument becomes irrelevant.
