Mani - < Sanders said, very favorable frequency response from the copper Athlon already produced.> Mani, Intel's next .18 incremental process rev will give a "very favorable" increase in frequency response. I'm not trying to say I now something you don't. This is just the natural order of MHz scaling. There are quoted AMD sources indicating what the MHz ramp is targeted for over the next year. These responses jive with my own competitive analysis on the subject. AMD does not appear to be indicating a huge increase in speed due to copper, or anything else. I.e., what I said a while back, impressive scaling, but within reason. Unless AMD is sandbagging, as Yougang speculated, I don't foresee AMD's process/device combination scaling any better than Intel's Aluminum process and mature uP core for the remainder of this year and through '00. I continue to say the MHz race will be close, unless one of the parties stumbles. PB
