Re: "You are saying it as if AMD was behind in process technology, which is inaccurate. Currently, AMD cought up or actually gained lead in process technology that is in production. This is probably the first time ever this has happened. Of course I am not surprised at the arrogance of your post. It is common among Intel investors and employees. It comes from lack of knowladge, not from any evil character trait (I think)" I disagree. AMD is not ahead in process technology as you claim, they are behind. The fact that AMD uses copper simply means AMD had to use copper to remain competitive. The Athlon reaches higher speeds than P3 because of it's design, not the process. P4 is well ahead of Athlon in frequency, not soley because of design as P4 will see 2GHz on the current .18u process. Not all due to the design but to the superior process as well. Intel didn't use copper on the .18u process because they didn't need it. AMD used it because they had to. EP
