A bit of Thoroughbred News

Here's some news/pictures (translated) of the AMD Athlon XP with 0.13 micron core

http://babel.altavista.com/translate...m/n/n5377.html

That is an XP2800 in the picture, which runs at 2.2Ghz. :cool:

I agree with you Gandalf!

By the way, nice post. I can't wait for it to come out, and beat the pants off of NorthWood!

Not only will it beat a 2.4 Northwood stock, but it will probably OC pretty well also. :cool:

AMD dual platforms are very new, give them some time to mature. Intel's been doing dual platforms for years, ever since the original Pentiums... AMD hasn't even been in it for a year. And I think they've come very far with it as the AMD solutions pretty much kill the Intel Xeons (not the Xeon MPs and stuff..just the regular old Xeons)

So give it some time, and I told you a single chip platform would be better :p

Yeah it is but GG can't spell, he calls his processor an "Atholon":rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I know they are new, in a way i wish i just hit out a nice dual 1.8Ghz Xeon, which a single one is just about the same power as a Athlon1800MP, thou dual Xeon whould rip athlon out duallie out :p

Still i much rather a dual rig to a single procsr platform.

I would like to see Athlon get further into dual/quad SMP thou work a little harder on all these stupid little problems before releasing, noone wants to buy a dual athlon for a server if they are gonna have problems with it all the time.

well the next release is long horne, since releases tend to be 2-3 years apart (95 - 98) (ME-XP) that leaves 4-6 years for me to get a new computer

well Justin I hate to tell you and I don't like it one bit, but your favorite computer manufacture (dell) and chip manufacture (intel)may have out done themselves.

hope AMD can come back :p

I hope so too...they are SO DAMN LAZY, release the T-Bred already :mad:

Maybe they are saving their energy for Clawhammer, since they're going to knock Intel out cold with that chip. :D
