Tenchusatsu, Re: "LI may be too risky, and the returns may not have justified the risk ... benefits of copper in the 0.18 micron process aren't good enough to justify the risks. We'll see sooner or later whether Intel made the right choice or not." This is absolutely correct ... Intel does an excellent job of meeting their performance objectives with the minimum amount of risk to manufacturability and schedule. Copper is a very good example of Intel weighing the choices and understanding the trade-offs ... Then deciding that they can meet their .18um performance without Copper. I think AMD is presently learning about "risk" with Copper. <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
