Talking some chip smack AMD officials took the opportunity, too, to say they're not lagging in this chip speed race. "To our customers, it's a further indication that we're executing to the plan that (AMD Chairman and CEO Jerry) Sanders has laid out for us," said Steve Lapinski, director of product marketing for AMD's Computational Products Group. "We felt it quite appropriate to make sure people understood (AMD) is well along with production and manufacturing goals, (including) the Dresden (Germany) facility." The 1.1GHz Athlon chip was demonstrated in a system built by AMD with off-the-shelf parts, including its AMD 750 chip set, with a 200MHz system bus. AMD ran a utility called MyCPU, which showed how fast the chip was running. The processor was produced at AMD's Fab 30 manufacturing plant. It included two new features that are due in future Athlon chips. Those include copper interconnects and integrated Level 2 cache. The two new features will help AMD raise the performance of the Athlon. The current 800MHz and forthcoming 850MHz chips utilize aluminum interconnects and an external 512KB cache. The 850MHz Athlon is expected next week. zdnet.com Just when Intel finally gets some 800Mhz into Pipeline AMD launches 850Mhz milo Funny comment on Piii 800Mhz availability. zdnet.com
