From Microprocessor Watch Issue #12 "The new AMD-750 complements the Athlon processor, providing all the basic features of today's mainstream core logic. With Intel about to introduce Camino, however, AMD appears to have weighed down its next-generation processor with a previous-generation chip set. The 750 is very similar in structure to Intel's 440BX chip set. Though Athlon and the 750 support a 200-MHz front-side bus (FSB) with 50% more potential throughput than the 133-MHz FSB expected on Intel's Pentium III processor and Camino chip set, the 750 has less bandwidth to main memory and graphics. Supporting only PC100 main memory and 2X AGP vs. Camino's Direct RDRAM and 4X AGP, the 750 is likely to create a bottleneck for memory-intensive tasks, such as image manipulation and 3D graphics.
