<AMD DEMONSTRATES 1.1GHz AMD ATHLON[tm] PROCESSOR>

Three things crossed my mind when I saw this:

1. Clearly this is impossible. We need Paul to confirm 900MHz > 1.1GHz.

2. If this kind of demo is all AMD was looking for then one has to wonder why AMD did not phase in 1G demonstration a few weeks back to get some PR mileage. I wonder about the judgement of the marketing guys here.

3. For the people who have *still* not figured out what Athlon is capable of: Pay attention. 1.1G is HEAVILY sandbagged number for Thunderbirds.

Now, let's see if AMD has anymore surprises at IDF.
