Jeff, re copper in ICs, another post showed up on the AMD thread by Yousef, the resident SI chip processing expert. Anyone wanting to really get into the nitty gritties can read it. I'll copy just his conclusion, the URL is up to you. Also, I guess this is enough hyping of the Intel process here. Lastly ... Intel has demonstrated a 900mhz 16Mb SRAM in this process. This is more important than most realize because the .25um 4Mb process development test chip ran at ~ 400mhz. This means that there is probably more "Mhz headroom" above 900mhz ... And finally, this will be available in volume by mid-'99. No other CPU vendor will have a .18um process that will be able to touch the performance of this process. The process that AMD is purchasing from Motorolo will not meet this level of performance until 1+ year after the Intel release. Message 6766898
