m_a_x; As far as I can see the Si 28 will work under Copper or Aluminum interconnects. With copper you would have dual benefits. Of course Aluminum is cheaper to make so if they can get to a Mhz goalpost with Al for certain processors and use the Si28 for the high speed. Remember there is a limited supply of Si28 and the ramp will be slow in making larger amounts of Si28. AMD may have signed for all the Si28 as we speak and will have a choke hold for a while and this may be their way of kicking the P-4 to death. Bill

Interview With Intel: P4 Technology gamersdepot.com Rather than make up my own sarcastic line on the interviewee here, I'll quote the interviewer's own assessment: George Alfs is the main PR Pimp for Intel's latest platform and took enough time away from his daily tasks to hopefully help clear some of the potential myths floating around the web about the Pentium 4. As one might expect from that lead in, it's an occasion for another NetB*s of flackery. The casual writeoff of all the not-so-stellar benchmarks as "potentential myths floating around the web" doesn't exactly make you want to read on, either. One cryptic reference caught my eye, though. For 64-bit computing, we are shipping Itanium® processor pilot-solutions now with McKinley and other variations on this 64-bit architecture in the future. Other variations, eh? I wouldn't want to read too much into a random sentence from a PR flack, though. Nice to see the Itanic continuing to adhere to its permanent pilot production schedule, anyway. Cheers, Dan. P.S. On Mr. Thomas's latest, the "no fan" thing leaves us with an obvious suspect as the source of that particular tidbit.
