Re: "In addition I'm finding many people want more metal layers.. have you noticed this trend?"

Here on the east coast I find just the opposite. People are purists when it comes to their metal layers.

The other trend I've noticed is that nobody wants copper. There's a lot of concern it will turn green over time, so people prefer to stick with nice shiny aluminum.

I always thought people like processors made on the .18 process which can run their spec'd speed at room temperature, but not any higher.
