Re: the "AMD Inside Info" does not sound legit.

Grove demoed a Coppermine at 1GHZ, Athlon is supposed to be switching to .18 in Al from Austin around now, so 1 or 1.1GHZ from the best few pieces is pretty much to be expected, right? It doesn't mean anything faster than 800MHZ will be a production part (though these would be expected to "test" at 900 or 1000MHZ if they are speced to be stabile and reliable at 800). Weren't we promised 800MHZ AL Athlons out of Austin for Q4? If they're going to ship in any volume by December, wouldn't the early production samples have to be undergoing validation and testing around now?

This could be a legitimate report, but if you think about it, it's really nothing more than news that the schedule hasn't slipped.
