Comment Re:They call it Low-K Dielectric (Score 1) 240

The copper isn't the low-k dielectric, the dielectric is what is in between the copper wires, it is what determines capacitance (and actually is should be called high-k). Using copper over aluminium reduces the resistance of the wire, but using a low-k dielectric lowers the capacitance, both of which make things faster.
