"t looks like when he said "all the copper products" he was clarifying the ponies part." (He said with a dubious look on his face) Maybe. Considering that the whole point (well a big point) of the Mustang core is to optimize the speed path and other parts, AMD doesn't have the advantages of it's cell library, thus multiplying the difficulty of running the same design on Al and Cu. So I am doubtful that they are burning the engineering time to put it on Al which will be obsolete once they move to 0.13 micron anyway. I would rather they spend the resources on the Hammer designs.
