Dan3 - <So Copper might be a big benefit to AMD at .18, but less of a benefit to Intel at the same feature size (that's just ignorant pure speculation on my part - if it's nonsense, please post that fact so that no one is misled>

Dan, this is excellent. I didn't even bring this part of the argument up. Yes, in my opinion, there is much to what you say above, due to design methodologies. Very good. It isn't the only factor, but it certainly is part of the equation.

<Re: Intel will have a .13 Cu process in production before AMD will...

HUH?>

Will AMD have start to implement a .13 process ~1 year from now, six months after it gets .18 up and running? If they will be, than I will stand corrected.

There may be things I don't know wrt to AMD/MOT's schedule, but I believe Intel should have .13 in production before AMD. Just my opinion.
