AMD Inside Info...
Monday, September 27, 1999 - 9:08 PM Andrew Oliver

According to sources inside AMD, there are major developments
happening, all of which benefit the end user.

The Athlon (k7) is in testing at 900 and 1000mhz, both versions seem
ready for production using standard cooling methods! The Athlon
800mhz version is already in production, and is sitting ready to ship as
soon as Intel produces a faster chip than is currently available.

AMD engineers also overclocked an Athlon 700mhz to 950mhz using
standard cooling, and in lab testing commonly hit 1000mhz. Athlon
800mhz cores are overclocking to 1100mhz with a much better than
expected success rate."...
AND a couple of Intel faithful laughed nervously...
I remember someone (me) here saying the Athlon would run 1000 MHZ on .25 and 1400 on .18u. Someone bookmarked me for later reference. Who was that?
Looks like my sources may not have been so crazy after all. <G>
