Steve, <Jerry says all of the 1100Mhz Athlons are from Dresden, and most of the 1000Mhz Athlons are from Dresden. Somehow that data disputes your fantasy that copper doesn't have any advantages>

Wouldn't that be a non-sequitor if AMD decided only to push Athlon speeds on their Dresden fab? With their "copy inexactly" philosophy, why spend precious R&D dollars on both Al and Cu processes? Furthermore, their Austin fab is maxed out already, while their Dresden fab is still ramping up, so it would make sense for AMD to push the envelope only in Dresden.

Intel's 1.13 GHz P3 and 1.4 GHz P4 use Aluminum ONLY.

Repeat after me - COPPER DOES NOTHING for AMD's ThumperTurds.
