Albert, Intel's stance was that copper did not provide significant performance improvement until 0.13. Traces on chips made on 0.18 were still sufficiently wide that the resistivity difference between copper and aluminum made little difference in signal speed or power consumption.

Re: "the article is 2+ years old. At that time intel still insisted that copper benefits do not provide sufficient justification for copper process"

Intel'c comments applied to the 0.18 micron generation - which YOU KNOW but "conveniently ignored".
