Re: "The reason that Intel does not need copper is that they etch their aluminum interconnects so deep, thus providing a larger cross sectional area at the same line width." Pretty damn smart, eh? Paul

Actually, no. I would like to see Athlon come to a quick and painless end once Hammer is introduced and, if Hammer gets a 20% speed grade boost and just manages to keep up with the peak speed grade of P4 with this 20% boost, when Intel does migrate to SOI Hammer will be in big trouble. What I am hoping is that SOI manages to provide enough of a drop in power consumption to enable mobile Barton to dominate the entire mobile market, but does not allow enough of a boost in the peak speed grade of desktop Barton to justify moving from Thoroughbred to Barton. I figure that if desktop Barton reaches a peak speed grade of 2.333 GHz by the end of 2002 I will be quite happy. OTOH, I hope that Hammer is capable of matching the peak speed grade of P4 even without resorting to SOI. I would like, if, I figure, if, I hope.... Are you actually NiceGuy?
