Re. "There are people on this thread who suggested CuMine can go close to 1GHz on 180nm. So, are you are saying that is not possible? Why?" You must realize I'm making alot of assumptions based on limited knowledge of INTEL's inner workings. If Intel improves their 1.5V device design further from what they have allready published,COPPERMINE will be faster. If Intel relaxes their off current spec a bit, COPPERMINE could be faster.If Intel accepts a reasonable amount of circuit limited yield loss at the highest speed sort, COPPERMINE will be faster. These and other adjustments could add another 100Mhz IF NEEDED. I would sincerely doubt 1Ghz is possible. We will see. THE WATSONYOUTH
