Fin, AMD didn't get a MHz advantage from Cu... why should they gain one for SOI? How do you know that? AMD gets higher bin splits from their copper process than Al process, why do you think Cu did not contribute to that? Or are you comparing apples to oranges, that is comparing different processors? If you don't know what I am talking about, answer this: why is the Copper(less) mine stuck at 1 GHz? It is using pretty much the same process technlogy as P4. If there is no advantage to Cu, why then is Intel switching now? Are you saying that Intel will never use SOI? I personally don't know what the right answers are, but it seems like for you the right answer is the answer Intel picks. In terms of raw frequency, Intel's "traditional Al" is the fastest thing going... In terms of raw frequency, Intel is still a little behind my cell phone. In terms of performance, Intel is having hard time keeping up. You must really have the blinders on if you think Intel has the fastest microprocessor. Joe
