There's no way to look at an Athlon SocketA processor and be able to tell if it utilizes silver interconnects or copper. The different die colors are due to different color polishing stones, so that theory doesn't hold water either.

i've heard people say that the blue core T-Birds have the copper interconnects, and Compuwiz1 has a thread on how he killed a blue core T-Bird byt OCing it to 1.3 GHz or something like that. but there is no real way to tell just by looking at one. maybe the serial numbers can tell you if you look it up at AMD's website. as far as the actual color of the core goes, that just indicates the different materials it was made from. i heard that the green cores come out of AMD's plant somewhere in Texas, and the old red cores that some of their CPUs had came from another plant in Germany. but i dont think the blue core guarantees you copper interconnects.

Supersix is correct here. Originally, the green,aluminum cores from Austin and the Blue, copper cores from Dresden were easy to spot. Since the 'core'is not colored, but the finishing polish, the Austin plant has used, blue, green, purple, and reddish polishes.

Durons have appeared blue, but all Durons use aluminum interconnects from Austin. Good luck
