Tony - <World's First Entry UNIX System With Copper Chips Shatters Sun's Commercial Performance...Copper Chip Technology The blazing-fast performance offered by the Model 270 and Model 170 is in part derived from the IBM-pioneered copper wiring technology incorporated into the 64-bit POWER3-II chip. Copper increases microprocessor performance substantially over chips that use aluminum wire. A single POWER3-II chip contains about 400 meters of copper wiring. > This is what I mean about IBM hyping its process technology every chance they get. Of course, Intel is achieving 800 MHz with plain old cost effective aluminum at .18, but some how using Cu intrinsicly just makes the chip faster. Hogwash. PB
