So how would a CPU with an identical clock rate have higher switching speed using copper?

Copper is a far better conductor of electricity than aluminum so you get more operations per single clock.

Do you have a link for this? Because it seems to me that copper would reduce the power consumption of the CPU and allow for a higher clock speed. Like the equivelent of a longer pipeline in a CPU with more stages which allows for a higher clock rate but instead with a shorter pipeline and achieved with better switching.

CPU mechanics aren't my strongest field.



Tease.
