Elmer, you guys are masters of digressing. The original conversation was about the need for copper and the aluminum 2Ghz .18 P4 was brought up as evidence for not needing copper in .18. I brought up the 1Ghz Aluminum P3 to illustrate the limitations of Aluminum. If you want to argue about apples and oranges, go ahead.

Constantine,
You're missing the point. Your thesis is that copper bought speed for AMD. Based on my knowledge of microprocessor fabrication, I think that's just plain wrong. Copper probably bought AMD no more than 50MHz (if that much!), whereas a more recent core design and very narrow polysilicon gates bought them the rest (with the lion's share coming from the gates).
