Paul, I saw an AD that talks about IBM's copper interconnect--actually an AD for a technical report from Integrated Circuit Engineering. In it they say that IBM's Power PC750 processor uses the technology, and that it incorporates 0.12 micron gates. My question is how far ahead of Intel is IBM in semiconductor process technology? You have stated Intel's position that copper is no advantage at 0.18 micron, but IBM seems to be a generation ahead of Intel (0.12 micron), or are they just touting a demo project? I would appreciate some comments on the subject. len
