mula - <The AMD press release said that the 1Ghz Atholon they demonstrated was a copper interconnect chip. My surprise was that AMD's plans of higher frequencies already included the gains of copper interconnect, unlike intel's.>

I do understand where you are coming from. Actually, it would be BC for Intel if they DID need Copper to achieve the higher speeds.

My comments are just a hunch really, out of the conviction that any .18 Al process worth it's salt should be able to achieve 1GHz+ speeds, especially with a newer design.
